Encrypting the auth and privacy passwords in trapsess directive

Hi,

I am trying to send out an inform request from my sub-agent (java code
using ireasoning APIs) which is registered with the net-snmp master
agent (version 5.3.1). I added the following directive to the file and
restarted snmpd:

trapsess -Ci -v 3 -u myuser -l authPriv -a MD5 -A test1234 -x AES -X
test1234 148.147.208.178:162

And this works perfectly fine, but having the auth and priv passwords
in plain text (test1234 above) is not a very good thing to do from the
security perspective. Is there any way I can store these passwords in
an encrypted format in this file (or may be in some other file) ?

-Datta.
