[SNMP4J] snmp4j v3 inform & traps missing engineid

[Frank Fock]

Hi,

Keep in mind, that the inform receiver is authoritative
whereas on the other hand the trap sender is authoritative.

SNMP4J does SNMP engine ID discovery. What version of NET-SNMP
are you using? Is the REPORT sent by NET-SNMP is correctly
reporting the engine ID?

Best regards,
Frank
