Summary: clientaddr config item ignored

Initial Comment:
from "man snmp.conf"

"clientaddr [<transport-specifier>:]<transport-address>
specifies the source address to be used by command-line
applications when sending SNMP requests. See snmpcmd(1)
for more information about the format of addresses.

This  value is also used by snmpd when generating
notifications."

On RHEL3 with stock net-snmp package (5.0.9-2.30E.12)
and tested with 5.1.4, 5.2.3 and 5.3.1 built from
source, this config item has no effect.


tried;

in "/etc/snmp/snmp.conf"
clientaddr 192.168.1.1

and

in "/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf"
[snmp] clientaddr 192.168.1.1

tried before "trapsink" config item and after.

Please run 5.3.1 with "-Dread_config" and see whether the
clientaddr token is correctly read in. Please also tell us:

- net-snmp-config --snmpconfpath
- net-snmp-config --configure-options
- snmpd startup options
