Hi,
I have built net-snmp 5.6.1 and trying to enable snmpV3. I have a problem
with "createUser ..." entry.
If I add "createUser ... " entry in /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf and restart snmpd,
then it adds corresponding "usmUser ..." entry with hashed key into
/var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf file. That is working fine.
Since now usmUser entry with hash key has been added to
/var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf, I am removing "createUser ..." line (which is
having password in plaintext) from /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf. Now again when I
restart snmpd, it removes usmUser entry from /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf.

Could you please tell me how to go about this. Once hashed keys are setup, I
want to remove plaintext passwords.

Thanks,
Prakash
