If that information is in /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf (as you say here),
but you can't see anything relevant in the vacm tables (as you say
elsewhere), then that would tend to indicate that the agent is not
reading this config file.

I.e. the user "wes" doesn't have access to anything.
That also indicates that the agent isn't picking up the "rwuser wes" line.

Try putting the rwuser lines in /usr/local/etc/snmpd.conf
rather than /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
If that doesn't work, try killing off the agent, and restarting it as
snmpd -f -Le -Dread_config
That will display debugging information, including a list of where the agent
is looking for configuration, and what settings it finds.
That should help you track down where to put the snmpd.conf file.
