Pass-through control

Dear Netsnmp users,

I'm trying to use the option pass-through control in netsnmp to create
some kind of SNMP proxy. For some reason though i can't get it to work.
I have 2 snmpd instances running, 1 on port 11161 (the Proxy) and one on
port 161, the snmp-agent from which i want the information. 

the settings in the snmpd.conf for pass-control are: 

pass .1.3 /bin/bash /snmptest/snmp_test

All the files have the proper permissions:

root@webserver1:/snmptest# ls -l
total 28
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root     0 2007-05-09 10:57 snmpcmd.log
-rw------- 1 root root 15491 2007-05-09 13:49 snmpdconf.conf
-rw------- 1 root root   200 2007-05-09 11:42 snmpd_forwarder.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    41 2007-05-09 10:57 snmp.log
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root   990 2007-05-09 10:57 snmp_test


The snmp_test file contains the following code: 

#!/bin/bash

touch /tmp/snmp.log
path="/usr/bin"
oid=$2
n_or_g=$1
community="public"
host_name="udp:localhost:161"

echo $oid $n_or_g  >> /tmp/snmp.log

if [ "$n_or_g" == "-g" ]; then
        result_code=`$path/snmpget -O ne -v 1 -c $community $host_name
$oid 2>/dev/null`
else
        result_code=`$path/snmpgetnext -O ne -v 1 -c $community
$host_name $oid 2>/dev/null`
fi

echo "The received snmp content: " $result_code

check_succeeded=$?
echo $check_succeeded >>/tmp/snmp.log
if [ "$check_succeeded" != "0" ] ; then
        echo "And error occured." ;
        exit 3;
fi

new_oid=`echo $result_code | cut -d ' ' -f 1`
type=`echo $result_code | cut -d ' ' -f 3 | cut -d ':' -f 1`
value=`echo $result_code | cut -d ' ' -f 4-`


echo $new_oid $type $value >>/tmp/snmp.log

if [ "$type" == "STRING" ] ;
        then value=test;
fi


echo "Nieuwe OID: "$new_oid
echo "Type: "$type
echo "Waarde: "$value

exit 0


If i executed the snmp_test directly it works fine, but for some reason
the pass-control function does not work at all. When i use an .1.3. oid
on snmpget on localhost:11161 it should execute the script and get the
data from the snmp-instance running on port 161. But for some reason i
only get the results from the 11161 snmp instance.

Is there anyone who successfully uses the pass-through control option?
Or does anyone have ideas what i'm doing wrong?

thanks in advance

Best regards,
Tim
