Dave,
    Thanks for the clarification. However, I am not sure I understand why this will not work for v3. Will the following directive:

    group             doomedGrp           usm                              
 not2allow<1>

    not ensure that for v3 we include the not2allow<1> security name in the doomedgroup - which, in turn is denied access for read/write/trap?

    Yup - I understand that this will be Net-SNMP specific solution and nothing to do with VACM mib interface! But, that will suit my requirement just fine!

For particular *community* - yes, of course this is possible.

But that only works for SNMPv1/2c.
I stand by what I said earlier - you cannot do this for SNMPv3.

And even for SNMPv1/2c, it isn't possible to do this through
the VACM MIB interface alone.   What you propose relies on
the "com2sec" directive, which is a private Net-SNMP-specific
config, outside the scope of the VACM MIBs.
