I'm working on the implementation of a SNMPv2 agent and encountered the
following problem:

RFC 1445 (Section 3.2) describes how to process a received communication. At
step (14) it says :
	"The local database of access policy information is
         consulted for access privileges permitted by the local
         access policy to the originating SNMPv2 party with
         respect to the receiving SNMPv2 party and the indicated
         SNMPv2 context."

However it does not specify what to do if this information is not found in
the database of access policy information. What should I do? Should I assume
that there is no access granted (aclPrivileges = 0)? Should I stop processing
the message?

Thank's in advance,
