Hi Markus

Thanks for the idea. For this solution the clients need to change their requests which might be a Problem.. I only develop the agent.

Maybe i can store the incoming sender address an only let Future set requests Be proccessed if they come from the same host until a crutical sequence is over.

If a management console 'has' the service bit, it can configure the agent, if not, set requests are simply ignored. Problem is, that it might be complicated to check for this 'bit' in every snmp request.. (I could store the IP of the management system currently accessing the agent for example).
