V3 authkey and privkey

I need to be able to specify the authentication key and the privacy key
in snmpd.conf
Instead of a password and nothing I have tried has worked. 

For example:
I tried the following:
createUser v3user9 MD5 0x2131415161718191a1b1c1d1e1f12232 DES
0x2131415161718191a1b1c1d1e1f12232
where I want the authkey =
21.31.41.51.61.71.81.91.a1.b1.c1.d1.e1.f1.22.32

Unfortunately I think net-snmp is taking the 0x.. as a "password string"
and creating an auth-key and priv-key from it.

I verified this by reading the authkey of this user via a call to:
uptr = usm_get_user(engineID, engineIDLen, newName);

and the authkey for this entry is:
e8.5f.42.d5.83.91.25.8b.6c.ed.dc.b4.80.7c.a2.2c
not
21.31.41.51.61.71.81.91.a1.b1.c1.d1.e1.f1.22.32

Unfortunately not even the
e8.5f.42.d5.83.91.25.8b.6c.ed.dc.b4.80.7c.a2.2c key worked when I placed
it as the key in the Mg-soft mib browser I get stats-wrong-digest
authentication error. So not exactly sure where the key is in the code.

I am able to use an authkey (not a password) using Mg-soft and a non
net-snmp agent - which leads me to believe the way I specified the
auth-key in the snmpd.conf directive was not correct. 

I would be very appreciative for any info you can provide to help me
accomplish this.
Thanks for your time.
