Snmp traps and security

Some more questions (of course!!!):

The code to send traps: I am using the code from the archives to send traps
and set
trap targets, are these traps v1 traps (as target code states) or v3? If
it's not v1,
how do you send v1 traps?

How do you set the community in agent++?

I'm trying to do gets (using the consoleExample/snmpGet) and am getting
EACCES -
Permission denied on the sendto. Does this have to do with v3 security? Our
application and NMS are in their infancy and so most of the SNMP code is at
v1 or v2 level. Basically, security is assumed to be nothing for now. How
can
I get past this problem and shut off as much security (with the exception of
community)
as possible? I've used the atm code as a template for all of the v3 code.

Thanks as usual for all of your knowledge. I have people here quite excited
about
agent++.
