vacm + view access problem

[kanakamahesh.anasuri]

Hi,   I am testing VACM views in 5.2.1 version.   snmpd.conf has the following details   ****************** rwuser  admin group admingrp usm admin view internet excluded 1.3.6.1 access admin "" usm priv exact internet internet internet ******************   As per the vacm configuration, snmpget using admin user should read/write from 1.3.6.1 OID level only. But I could retrieve values before this OID level, infact I can get any values in the over all MIB view using admin user. As per my understanding “excluded” means that with in #view directive should disable access to that MIB (1.3.6.1 in my case) view associated with USM users (admin user here) but I could retrieve values for 1.3.6.1 level.   Is this net-snmp version 5.2.1 is full compliance for VACM views?   If you have tested VACM correctly, Can you please provide what is that version used?   Thanks in advance,     Mahesh
