Managing SNMPv3 passwords without snmpusm.

Hi all, I have a question that relates to ease of use (ease of management)
of SNMPv3 passwords.
Every administrator would like to change some of the passwords of the users
accessing the SNMPv3 agent.
Lets say that the situation is that there 10 users configured for SNMPv3 all
were done using createUser commands in the persist file.
This means that all of them were changed to the encrypted usmUser in the
persist snmpd.conf file.

Now he needs to change the password of only one of them... Since one cannot
know what entry belong to what user, the admin would have to erase all the
usmUser entries in persist file and re enter the createUser l for all 10
users.

Is there any way around this besides snmpusm?

Thanks so much for your help!
