Re: problem with snmpusm command

hi,
I am running snmpd as the agent on machine 172.10.1.4 , and snmptrapd as 
the server on 172.10.1.5
Now i am giving the below command from the snmptrapd( ie. server machine).

*snmpusm -v3 -u initial -l authNoPriv -a MD5 -A initialpasswd 172.10.1.4:161 create wes initial*

*User successfully created. ->is my output.

now if i try to give the command from snmptrapd
snmpwalk -v3 -u wes  -l authNoPriv -a MD5 -A initialpasswd 172.10.1.4 
:161 .1.3.6.1.6.3.15*
Error in packet.
Reason: authorizationError (access denied to that object)  -> is my output.
Accoding to me the above command should work since wes(cloned user) 
inherits/retains  the passphrase from 'initial'(existing user).

So now if i try to change the passphrase for wes using the below command

*snmpusm -v 3 -u wes -l authNoPriv -a MD5 -A initialpasswd 172.10.1.4 passwd initialpasswd wespasswd*

Error in packet.
Reason: authorizationError (access denied to that object) -> is my output

The /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf in snmpd contains
rwuser initial
rwuser wes.

The /var/net-snmp/snmptrapd.conf in snmptrapd contains
createUser initial MD5 initialpasswd

I haven't configured anything in /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf . What should 
i give in this file?

Regards
