- One is the authoritative angine id, the other is the context engine id.
- compare hex dumps, not the attempts to interpret as strings
- informs to different destinations are *expected* to use different
authoritative engineids (because it needs to use match the engineid of
the receiver)
- use a packet sniffer (Ethereal) to see the real data that is sent
- we can't help with problems (if any) of your non-net-snmp custom agent
