I could not find what I wanted somehow. I am quite new to snmp. Can anybody please let me know what is community used in snmpd.conf file and what is its use in trapsink and trapcommunity? Currently my application uses hardcoded community - 'public'. I need to parse the snmpd.conf file for this.

Hello all, I would like to know if the snmpd.conf parsing code is present in net-snmp source or not. Since I would like to make my sub-agent work in a similar way to the main agent, I would like to have a look at the main agent code. Thanks, Vivek
