cannot do snmpset on ipForwarding

Hi all,

I'm new to this list and also new user for net-snmp.

I recently compiled the net-snmp-5.4 with ./configure (no other options)  
on a x86(suse 8.2) machine.
I ran snmpd as "/tmp/net-snmp-5.4/agent/snmpd -M  
/tmp/net-snmp-5.4/snmpd/mibs -c /tmp/net-snmp-5.4/snmpd.conf -C"

where /home/mnt/snmpd/mibs has all the files from the release.

cat  /tmp/net-snmp-5.4/snmpd.conf:
     rwuser  myname
     rwcommunity public
     group groupv3    usm        myname
     view    all  included  .iso      80
     access groupv3    ""       any       auth      exact  all      all     
all

I can do snmpget :
     /tmp/net-snmp-5.4/apps/snmpget -c public -v 1  localhost ipForwarding.0
     IP-MIB::ipForwarding.0 = INTEGER: notForwarding(2)

Then ran the snmpset:
     /tmp/net-snmp-5.4/apps/snmpset -c public -v 1  localhost  
ipForwarding.0 i 1
     Error in packet.
     Reason: (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB.
     Failed object: IP-MIB::ipForwarding.0

My question is: what is wrong with my setup/configuration which disallows  
me to modify the ipForwarding?
( but I can change hostname:
/tmp/net-snmp-5.4/apps/snmpset -c public -v 1  localhost sysName.0 s "TEST"
SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: TEST)

BTW: how I can force this sysName (hostname) updated on the host?(ie. the  
same as calling "hostname TEST")

Thanks for any suggestions
