Actually, that's what the intent tends to boil down to, but things are often different in practice, which is why I'm a v3 man!

About communities, I would like that the manager could change only the 
communities name, and change (or add/del) traps destination. The only 
mode for changing these parameters is changing these tokens in 
snmpd.conf? and if this is so, how can I change it at run time?

I was reading the web

http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/dev/agent/group__read__config.html

but this is only the headers functions and is not enough for 
understanding it.

Thanks
