RE: snmpusm + changekey (DH Keys)

Thanks for the reply.
 
I performed kill -9 on snmpd.But I killed not immediately after doing keys change. After a long time.
But as soon as the keys got changed snmpd should update usmDHUserkeyTable and snmpd.conf at the same time right?
 
Will the snmpd do all commits to snmpd.conf from the table values just before exiting (normal)?
 
Mahesh

No, the keys should definitely be stored in the snmpd.conf file after
a key change.    Did you happen to do a kill -9 or something?  If so,
you should never do that and do a proper kill -TERM instead.  No
application should be killed with a -9 without first giving it a
normal kill signal so it can try to exit properly.
