RE: Changing passwords using net-snmp 5.3.2

I'm sorry for my persistence but I need to understand this. 
I've read the FAQ and that's why I'm writing here. At this moment, my problem is that I'm inserting "create User" directives in the snmpd.conf file that says something like "do not edit... unless it is a create user token and you are de admin". 

I've inserted the tokens because I'm the system admin and saved the file. Then I started the agent. Then, with the agent running, I looked again at the snmpd.conf file where I've inserted the tokens and there's nothing there except the EngineBoots and oldEngineId. There was no substitution. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I'm using net-snmp 5.3.2

Thank you very much for the assistance till now and the future one,
Sérgio Cabaço

The 'createUser' lines are deleted, and replaced by equivalent
'usmUser' lines, yes.
That is normal, and is covered in the project FAQ.

    This is still the correct approach, IMO.
