snmpEngineBoots

Hi,

Should snmpEngineBoots be initialized to 0 or 1? rfc3414 (USM) says 0.
rfc3411 says 1. It is not impossible to stick to what two rfc's say but
it is still confusing. Would it be a problem to simply start from 1
instead of 0?

To be really consistent with both rfc's, the implemention could be as
follows:

   * Set snmpEngineBoots to 0 when the SNMP agent is first installed.
   * Do not provide a MIB instance to snmpEngineBoots when it is 0.

This implementation could cover the descriptions in the two rfc's:

rfc3414, Section 2.2
When an SNMP engine is first installed, it sets its local values of
snmpEngineBoots and snmpEngineTime to zero.

rfc3414, Section 2.4
UsmSecurityParameters ::=
       ...
       msgAuthoritativeEngineBoots INTEGER (0..2147483647),
       msgAuthoritativeEngineTime INTEGER (0..2147483647),
       ...

rfc3411 Section 5
snmpEngineBoots  OBJECT-TYPE
       SYNTAX       INTEGER (1..2147483647)

Comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ann
