[tkined] SNMPv2c and security. Responder behavior.

Hello,
I am using Tnm 3.0.0 to develop an agent (currently to test manager
applications ).
The responder session is configured with -version SNMPv2c -community xyz
To test the behavior of the agent, a manager generator session is configured
with -community ABC
The behavior is as follows:
1. The agent does not reply, and the manager local synchronous reply is
"noResponse 0 {}" (after the configured retries )
2. The SNMP engine within the agent "blocks" the request, as it can be
perceived by configuring "Tnm::snmp watch 1 " and "$session bind recv
a_script " and "$session bind begin another_script" . Indeed, the events are
not triggered.
My comment:
A priori, I expected an error, such as authorizationError or ??
My question:
Is it the normal behavior for a SNMPv2c agent ?.

Thanks in advance
Joseph Collard
