Re: problem getting agent to call mib init code

One possibility is that you have two agents installed on the system,
and the running agent is the "other one" (without your new module).
   Try retrieving the value of   UCD-SNMP-MIB::versionConfigurationOptions.0
This should give you the same results as net-snmp-config

Also, if you walk the NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB::nsModuleName object,
you ought to see mention of your new module - assuming that it's
being registered correctly.  Though given your report, I strongly suspect
that it won't be there.

What do you mean by "know[ing] the alpha name of the object"?

That simply means that the MIB file is in place, and is being read
in by the library MIB parser.   In the same way, the command line
tools (snmpget, snmpwalk, etc) will be reading in the MIB file, and
hence able to ask for your new MIB objects.
   But that's completely separate from whether the agent actually
*implements* these objects,

No.
That should be invoked when the agent first starts up.

It's probably worth checking that the file
      agent/mibgroup/mib_modules_inits.h
does make mention of  init_XXXobject.

Just to check - what is the filename of the code file that contains
this initialisation routine?
