Hmm...  looks like you've certainly narrowed the problem down.

You *did* configure the SNMPv3 user in the trap receiver to use SHA
too right?

no...  there shouldn't be any differences there other than the
algorithm that is called.

It's the application receiving the traps too?  If so, yes it could.

The thing to try would be to set up our agent and our trap receiver
and see if they get through.  Then try our agent and another trap
receiver and see if it gets through, then try the mg-soft one and see
if that gets through...  IE, narrow down where the problem is.
