[erlang-questions] snmp security name problems

Never mind, I got it to work (hooray for wireshark and erlang tracing.)  The
problems were...

1. agent.conf is supposed to specify agent engine id, not manager engine id.
2. usm.conf is supposed to specify agent engine id and key generated from
agent engine id.
3. OID needed a ",0" tacked onto the end.
