That implies that the timeout value is exceeded. Try doubling it until you stop getting retries. SD> Am I possibly not returning the proper value from my subagent handler?

Can you try only running on sub-agent, and see if that works without retries? Then keep adding another sub-agent until the problem resurfaces.

None. The conf file is for talking to sub-agents, and the session structure is for talking to clients. -- Robert Story; NET-SNMP Junkie Support: <http://www.net-snmp.org/> <irc://irc.freenode.net/#net-snmp> Archive: <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=net-snmp-users> You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
