  Lack of an engine ID error does not equal engine ID success.  There
are many layers that the SNMPv3 traffic needs to pass before you can get
it working.  It will be very useful for you to enable debug modes on
both your agent and management applications to see exactly what's
happening.  If the agent is throwing the traffic away there is no way to
tell why other than debug mode.

  In my cases (net-snmp 5.4.1 and net-snmp 5.5) failed engine ID
verifications resulted in no error traffic.  This may be intentional to
help prevent brute force discovery of engine ID values.
