I'm really not talking about the input to the shell but the input
to snmptrapd.  In one case it got a string and in the other case a
string and an integer.  It could tell the difference.  But the
distinction was lost in the output it generated.

Ok, now I understand what you are asking.

What OS and what version of Net-SNMP are you using? In my syslog and also when logging to the console (snmptrapd -Lo -f) my strings are quoted:

SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.534.1.11.3.0 = STRING: "Alex"

I tested with Net-SNMP 5.2.1.2.

Do you get the same result when logging to the console or to a file (instead of syslog)?

Alex
