Yep, it's pretty new, and documentation is usually pretty low priority.

err... well, for the request to even get to the sub-agent, it has to get
through vacm community string checks. I hope you weren't planning on bypassing
those.

If you check the recent snmpd.conf man page, the com2sec token can specify a
context, which you could easily make the same as the community string, and thus
the sub-agent would get passed the community string as the context.


com2sec -Cn host10-10-10-1 mynet default host10-10-10-1
com2sec -Cn host10-10-10-2 mynet default host10-10-10-2

You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different.
