Re: Can not get remote engineTime.

*Hi Dave,

I figured out the solution and it works in my v3 environment now.

Our agent does not register the snmpFramework module.  So this is what I
did:

init_agent(agentName) ;
// BEGIN newly added the following two lines
should_init("snmpEngine");
init_mib_modules();
// END
init_snmp(agentName);

Now I can get the snmpEngineID information.

Thanks so much for your instructions along the way, and patience as well.

Regards,
Zongjun
