[1] I have rolled-my-own and it works.

I suggest:

	netsnmp.lrp
	netsnmpd.lrp
	netsnmptrapd.lrp

Access Control Model (vacm) examples.  In fact, my snmpd.conf does *not*
even mention community: public ;>

[4] A little more testing and Mike Noyes finalizing my leaf/sourceforge
access, then I can post v2.4.3.
