Ok, now I understand what you are asking.

What OS and what version of Net-SNMP are you using?  In my syslog and 
also when logging to the console (snmptrapd -Lo -f) my strings are quoted:

SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.534.1.11.3.0 = STRING: "Alex"

I tested with Net-SNMP 5.2.1.2.

Do you get the same result when logging to the console or to a file 
(instead of syslog)?

Alex
