One more thing, If you have not set any value for syslocation in snmpd.conf file then you can set the value using snmpset. Otherwise it will give object is not writable.

Also, as per the SNMPv2 RFC 3416, "the receiving SNMP entity processes each variable binding in the variable-binding list to produce a Response-PDU. All fields of the Response-PDU have the same values as the corresponding fields of the received request except ... " When I tried to set syslocation as below, with the response I felt the Set was succesful. But immediately when I performed get on the same vaiable, then I got old value. The actual O/P that I am seeing (with net-snmp 5.08) : [EMAIL PROTECTED] testuser]# snmpset -v 2c -t 120 -n "" -c public localhost 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.6.0 s contact1 SNMPv2-MIB::sysLocation.0 = STRING: contact1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] testuser]# snmpget -v 2c -t 120 -n "" -c public localhost 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.6.0 SNMPv2-MIB::sysLocation.0 = STRING: Unknown (edit /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf) [EMAIL PROTECTED] testuser]# Basically, I needed to take a decision in my project, for peforming certain operations, if get-set-get needed or simple get-set with handling of error nos be sufficient & hence this query.
