Send an SNMPv3 message, with null engine ID, boot and time values.
You will receive a REPORT packet back, which includes this missing information.

The Net-SNMP library handles this automatically as part of sending
an SNMPv3 request.

Hmmm....
   I'm surprised that the library doesn't spot this and amend the boot/time
values accordingly.    We'll need to investigate properly.

Can you please log a bug in the project tracker, so that this problem
doesn't get lost.

Thanks

Dave
