Encrypting trapsess entries in snmpd.conf

Hello,

 

Does anyone know if there is a way to avoid having snmpv3 "trapsess"
entries in snmpd.conf display the authentication/privacy pass-phrase?
Currently, if there's a trapsess entry, it displays all of the info
(e.g. "trapsess -e 0x010203040506 -u myuser -a MD5 -A mypassword -l
authPriv -x DES -X myotherpassword localhost:162"); however, it's not
exactly desirable to show these pass-phrases in plain text.  Is it
possible to add the users to the USM database, and then just reference
the username, and not all the auth/priv info?  If so, what all needs to
be done?

 

Thanks,

Russell
