No. The information retrieval commands will attempt to retry in the case of failures (having removed the offending varbind from the list), but not "snmpset". Automatic 'correction' of SET requests feels like Trying To Be Too Helpful, and Probably a Bad Idea. > Or would I have to do that from the calling code?

If the assignment succeeds, this will return 0. If there's a problem processing or sending the request, it returns 1. If the remote agent indicates failure, it returns 2. But this wouldn't distinguish between different reasons *why* the request failed. For that, you'd need to catch the textual error message, and match against that.
