Thanks for your help, Dave. I'll try your suggestions.

Errr... yes.   If you tell the agent not to load any config files (-C)
then there won't be any access control settings.  So the agent won't
actually do anything.

Either you are running this as a non-privileged user (i.e. non-root) or
there is already an SNMP agent running on the standard port.

Hmmm....
Nothing springs out at me.

The agent is receiving the requests that the "snmpget" command is
sending, but never actually responds.   Which normally means an
access control problem.
   But the snmpd.conf file looks sensible, and ought to accept the
"testcommunity" community.   I'm really not sure why this is failing.

   All I can suggest is that you try running some manual tests
using the same configuration.   Something like:

    snmpd -d -f -Le -C -c /tmp/snmp-test-1-27896/snmpd.conf
udp:localhost:8834
(and in a separate window)
    snmpget -d -c testcommunity -v 1 udp:localhost:8834
.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0

If that shows the same behaviour (repeated resending of the same
request, with no response), try re-running the snmpd command using the
option
   -DmibII/vacm_vars
which should give some debug output for the access control processing.
