Hi Milan,
>From a quick look at your code it looks like you've missed a crucial
line to register the handler:
netsnmp_register_handler( reg );
Which you need to do after your line:
reg = netsnmp_handler_registration_create(...)
Also, one important point (I forgot to mention previously), if there are
any other handlers which register for specific OIDs (e.g.
.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0) - these will be called instead of your generic
handler.
Hope that helps.
