RE: reduce snmpusm/snmpvacm size

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.

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?
