I am able to get it working in v3 mode on one system - with the exact same 
configuration on a different server it does not work. And I have no idea what I 
did that made it start working on one system.

I do know however that on the system that is not working the place in the code 
that fails is in usm_process_in_msg

It fails if (ISENGINEKNOWN(secEngineID, *secEngineIDLen) == FALSE)

Even though the engine id is correct (it is the engine id of the snmpd server).

So it as if snmptrapd does not know its own engine id when processing an 
incoming inform packet.

This same line of code works fine in anther system and I have verified that the 
engine ids are correct.

Any info on what can cause this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

What happens if you omit the engine ID?
SNMPv3 inform notifications would normally probe for the remote
engine ID automatically, so that would be the first thing I'd check.

I'd also try with an SNMPv2 inform, just to confirm whether or not the
issue is related to inform requests in general, or SNMPv3 handling
in particular.
