not taking snmp version from .snmp/host/host.conf

Hi,

Running net-snmp 5.7.3 on FreeBSD 12.0, and 5.7.2 on CentOS 7.7.1908.

I can set SNMPv3 auth information in $HOME/.snmp/hostname.conf just
fine. If I create a per-host file to tell snmpwalk to use v2 or v2c,
however, it insists on using v3 anyway.

I can set snmp.conf to use v2c, and have individual hosts files
override that with v3. That's less than optimal.

My regular $HOME/.snmp/snmp.conf is:

defVersion 3
defSecurityName secureRW
defAuthPassphrase beVeryCareful
defAuthType SHA
defPrivPassphrase moreCarefulThanThat
defPrivType AES
defSecurityLevel authPriv


I have $HOME/.snmp/hosts/centos.conf to poke the host named "centos":

doDebugging 1
defversion  2c
defcommunity  insecureRO

When I run snmpbulkwalk without debugging, I get:

$ snmpbulkwalk centos
snmpbulkwalk: Unknown user name

Packet sniffing shows we're sending SNMPv3.

I have the full debug at http://www-old.michaelwlucas.com/centos.debug

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
==ml
