Cannot set values in example-demon Subagent

Hi to all

 

I'm trying to run in Ubuntu 9.10 OS the subagent example provided at link 

 

http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/TUT:Writing_a_Subagent

 

I have downloaded the example-demon files and compiled them using the
included makefile.

When I start the example-demon , it correctly connect to the master agent
and run.

I can also get the NET-SNMP-TUTORIAL-MIB::nstAgentSubagentObject.0 variable,
as described in the example.
However, when I try to set the variable using the command 
 
snmpset localhost NET-SNMP-TUTORIAL-MIB::nstAgentSubagentObject.0 = 5,
 
I get this error message :
 
Error in packet.
Reason: (badValue) The value given has the wrong type or length.
Failed object: NET-SNMP-TUTORIAL-MIB::nstAgentSubagentObject.0

 

Is someone knowing what could be the cause of this problem?

 

Before to compile the subagent I have downloaded the NET-SNMP source project
5.6.1.1 and installed it following procedure described at link.

 

http://www.net-snmp.org/docs/INSTALL.html

 

The snmpd.conf file is configured as per suggestions provided in the example
page.

 

Is there any other configuration I need to do in order to be able to write
values to this OID?

 

Thank you in advance for your support and best regards

 

Emanuele
