Hello,

I have a question on the format how oldEngineID is stored in snmpd.conf.
After configuring an engine ID, I observed the oldEngineID in snmpd.conf
saved as

*engineBoots 1oldEngineID
0x80001f880438303030623835633033653030373162633735333532*

The question is why the oldEngineID is stored in ASCII format when
engine-id input is actually Hex.

Thank You in advance,
Abhishek S
