Hi Dave, I have placed this issue on the AgentX mailing list and reached consensus regarding the "null object identifier" usage. This zero length OID must be used where explicitly mentioned in RFC2741 only. The references I found refer to the AgentXOpen PDU and AgentX SearchRanges. A zero length OID must not be used for VariableBinding encoding.
I hope that this will be clarified in an update of RFC 2741 since this issue was indeed not very clearly expressed. Do you have an estimation in which NET-SNMP version this fix will be available? BTW, I have implemented a few workarounds into SNMP4J-AgentX and AgentX++ to cope with some bugs of the NET-SNMP subagent. Are interested in the details? There seem also to be 64bit OS related bugs when encoding an IpAddress on AgentX.
