Own Id: OTP-5574
Aux Id: Seq 9850
[manager] report message with incorrect security info (e.g. securtyModel and/or securityLevel) was ignored (dropped, except for incrementing the proper error counter) even if all other info was correct.

1.28.3 Incompatibilities

New sys configuration format. Although the old configuration format still works (if only the agent is used), it is no longer documented and will eventually be eliminated. See application configuration or configuration params for more info.
Three new interface modules have been introduced. One for each of the individual parts of the application:
- [agent] snmpa
- [manager] snmpm
- [compiler] snmpc
The primary interface module, snmp, still exist. It contains the application generic functions. The agent specific stuff still exist (for backward compatibility reasons), but has been deprecated and will eventually be removed.
Some previously already deprecated functions has been removed (since they in turn was dependent on deprecated functions, see calendar).
[agent] The agent network interface API has changed. See snmp agent net if,
[agent] The default agent audit trail log name has changed.
[compiler] Mib format has changed (see OTP-5053 above).
