Re: Why do I have to start snmpd twice to get USM to work?

As far as I'm aware there is no oldEngineID because the persistent
snmpd.conf doesn't exist the first time I run snmpd. The engine IDs I
specify on the createUser entries are fairly arbitrary at the moment,
but they are different from the EngineID of the snmpd - my understanding
is that they're supposed to be the engine ID of the machine that
snmpget/snmpwalk is run on.
