The behavior of the encryption code should be consistent on Windows and 
Linux, at least if both have been compiled with the same encryption 
support (OpenSSL or internal). Adding appropriate debug flags at the 
agent and client side will probably provide a better insight in what's 
going on. Flags that probably will yield interesting information are -d 
and -D 
netsnmp_udp_parse_security,netsnmp_udp6_parse_security,netsnmp_unix_parse_security,tls,tsm.
