Hello Wes, I have small clarification for the same query. The entry of createUser initial MD5 setup_passphrase DES present in /usr/local/share/snmp/snmp.conf is equivalent to entry in /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf ? The entry in /var/net-snmp/ would be encrypted when the snmpd starts running and the password is not visible for anybody. If both are equivalent entries in snmpd.conf then why do we generally use /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf for this entry?

This will be fixed in the future. -- Wes Hardaker Sparta, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
