Hi,
The net-snmp commands like snmpget and snmptrap take the authentication and encryption keys in plain text format. So, when I write an snmp-agent to generate traps should I store these keys in plain text format as well ? Would this not be a security concern. Please let me know your thoughts on what would be the best approach to store these keys.

Thanks,
Sahana
