[AGENT++] snmp++ get v3 problem

[Don Radick]

of Course this was user error.

Correct command line works fine:

 ./snmpGet 10.10.1.8 -v3  -sl2 -sncking -uadaytona19y -authMD5

The error message from the library was somewhat misleading, though:
SNMP++ Get Error, SNMPv3: USM: Unsupported SecurityLevel (1403)

The problem was not the Security Level, but an incorrect authProtocol
error.
