The "server" is indeed a different process that communicate with the snmpd. The product has other user-interfaces (such as cli, web, front-panel and snmp) and all must use the same users definition, therefore if one adds a user through one of the GUIs, I need to update snmp as well. What kind of " dedicated application" do you recommend? I tried manually re-write the snmpd.conf file + send SIGHUB to snmpd to re-read configuration files, however the user&password are not encrypted when shown in the file, until demon is restarted. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dave Shield Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2011 4:20 PM To: Naama Bar Menachem Cc: Net-SNMP users Subject: Re: reduce snmpusm/snmpvacm size On 15 March 2011 13:36, Naama Bar Menachem <[email protected]> wrote: > Dave: Though I would question why you need to install > client applications onto an embedded system. > > Answer: to perform user actions from product (server). > If a new user need to be add to snmp > I call snmpusm through "system" call. > Is there a better way to do that? If you're tight for space, then using a general purpose application like snmpusm seems a poor use of resources. You'd do better to craft a dedicated application to issue the necesary SET requests. I presume the "server" that you mention is a different application to the SNMP agent? (but both running on the embedded system) How would this server be instructed to request that a new user be created?
