Summary: snmp_send has a bug

Initial Comment:
Version:::NET-SNMP-5.0.1

Specified port is not being used in snmp_send. It was 
working fine in UCD-SNMP 4.2.1

In snmp_send api the port number specified in struct 
snmp_session instance is not used by snmp_send.

While trying to send Traps using snmp_send I specified 
port number 162 in structure pointer that snmp_open 
function returns. However I found that instead of reading 
the port from the snmp_session pointer passed to 
snmp_send it reads the port using ds_get_int which 
seems to be the default store of NET-SNMP. When I did 
ds_set_int(DS_LIBRARY_ID, DS_LIB_DEFAULT_PORT, 
u_port), I found that the traps are being sent at port 162 
otherwise it simply sends trap at Port 161 even if you 
specify a different one.

 Actually, the entire architecture for specifying a remote 
host has changed.  The proper way to specify the port 
number is now combined with the host name (to enable 
a more generic transport specification for protocols that 
don't necessarily use port numbers).  So, change your 
host name to "hostname:162" and it should work.
