The thing I want to learn is why it doesn't do it. When I aim to get any parameter from agent, agent says there isn't any user recorded. Am i doing sth wrong? 

I think i once did use the snmpd.conf file, but i don't remember if we
put users in it. I did test create using dynamically using the tests
shown on

http://ecos.sourceware.org/docs-latest/ref/net-snmp-test-cases.html

Do these tests work for you? I you might need to enable some of the
features in tests/snmpping.c
