My passwords are greater than 8 chars. Another thing I've notice is that, the engineBoot is always 1 and never increments? I thing this might be a problem but I don't know the solution either. This engineBoot is in the same file, the snmpd.conf.

That's fine - you are adding the one token that is valid here. > I've inserted the tokens because I'm the system admin and saved the file. > Then I started the agent.

Silly question - how long is the password you are using? Is it greater than 8 characters? If not, then the agent will indeed delete the "createUser" line and leave nothing in its place. In such a situation, if you check the log files, you should see that it's complaining about the password length. If that's not the case, then I'm not sure what is going wrong. I've just tried this on my system, and it definitely works as expected.
