I doubt this is due to hosts.{allow,deny}
These files are purely concerned with where requests are coming from.
They do not look at the content of a particular request, so cannot
distinguish between standard and enterprise OIDs.

It's much more likely that you've got some access control settings
in the snmpd.conf file, which are blocking access to the enterprise subtrees.

Have a look at the FAQ entry
     I can see the system group, but nothing else. Why?
