Here is the state transition for the EntryStatus is as followed ... maybe
that will give you an idea on what you are allowed to change as a manager

         A manager is restricted to changing the state of an entry in
         the following ways:

              To:       valid  createRequest  underCreation  invalid
         From:
         valid             OK             NO             OK       OK
         createRequest    N/A            N/A            N/A      N/A
         underCreation     OK             NO             OK       OK
         invalid           NO             NO             NO       OK
         nonExistent       NO             OK             NO       OK

and here are the values ...

EntryStatus ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
     STATUS current
     DESCRIPTION
         "The status of a table entry....
        "
     SYNTAX INTEGER {
                valid(1),
                createRequest(2),
                underCreation(3),
                invalid(4)
            }

Hope it helps ....
Claudius,

Manish,

You say you are trying this on your company's Agent. Have you implemented a
v3
Agent (or a multi version v1/v2c/v3 agent?)

If so, and if you are trying to do a Set from a v1 Manager , while you have
v3
Authentication turned on, I think you will get an authorization error. If
the
agent is multi version, it will recognize your Manager as v1 and translate
the
error to "noSuchName" before sending it.

You say the Set works using the SNMP Research utilities. Try this using the
v1
option on the utilities and see if you get the same error message. If so,
browse the MIB with the utilities, look for snmpInBadCommunityUses, and see
if
it is being incremented. 

You also mention that you are trying to change the rowStatus from "valid".
This
does not appear in the list of allowed values for rowStatus.
