" When you send an INFORM you use the remote engineID when sending the
message and the securityName and engineID must exist as a pair in the
remote user table."

[...]

"SNMPv3 TRAPs are a bit more complicated in some ways, but it makes
sense the protocol works this way if you spend a long time thinking
about it. The difference is that SNMPv3 TRAPs use the engineID of the
local application sending the trap rather than the engineID of the
remote application."

  So the answer to your question appears to be YES.  If you wish to use
INFORMs instead of TRAPs, your agent needs to include the remote
target's engineID.

  I need to support v3 in our next release so I've been reading this
tutorial. ;)
