where to set retries/timeout time, problem in set request

Hi Dave,

I am facing the same problem in SET request. I am using NetSnmp 5.4.1 for
sub-agent development.
I have mib module object which has type READ/WRITE. If I do snmp set request
then it apply the information in the database and apply it also on device.
So it takes some time and then in result master agent send the same SET
request again. I have added
agentXRetries 1
agentXTimeout 1200

in /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf file but seems that master agent is not
understanding the configuration because It is again sending the same SET
request multiple time to my sub-agent application.

If I do snmpset request by giving command from command line

snmpset -r 0 -t 1200 .....

then it is working perfectly. Could you please help me where to put this
timeout/retries information in configuration file exactly so that snmpd can
pick the same configuration?

On running the master agent by giving command
/usr/local/sbin/snmpd -c /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf -f -Le
-Dread_config -x tcp:localhost:705
It is giving following result on cosole
