  What success message?

  "mypw" is too short to work with the net-snmp agents (v5.4.1 and v5.5)
that I've used.  These require a minimum password length of 8
characters.  I believe this restriction is part of the USM.

  Any encryption requires that your SUSE platform has the OpenSSL
libraries installed.  But none of this is going to work until you try a
longer password, why not use "password?"
