V3 key change

Hi All,

 

I created V3 users using createUser directive and placed in snmpd.conf
(/var/net-snmp - which is in encrypted format). The users are not
created through snmpusm utility.

 

The following mail says that it is not possible to change the keys
configured through the config file. Is it valid for snmp.conf
configuration file only? Is it valid for snmpd.conf file which is
encrypted by snmpd?

 

Thanks,

Mahesh

 It turns out that the person that implemented the USM support a long
time ago was a bit too paranoid about changing passwords of created
users, and users created via a config file aren't allowed to change
their passwords.  This will be fixed in the future.
