[SNMP4J] Engine time synchronization question

[Kevin J. Schmidt]

Hi,

This brings up a good question for me. I'm writing an application that
can send SNMP v1, v2c, and v3 traps/notifications. It's meant to
interface with our product and provide external alerting capabilities
to OpenView, et al. I wasn't planning on developing agent-like
capabilities, i.e. have a process listen on port 162 and respond to
SNMP requests. Can I get away with doing this or do I need to be able
to respond to requests for engineID, boots, and time?
