It is worth noting that the way SNMPv3 with USM works is that you *must* store a copy of the user's localized key on the device in a way that snmpd can read it. This means you will always ended up with some form of unencrypted secret on the device (though the secret, if stolen, will only let you access the device itself and not other devices). -- Wes Hardaker Cobham Analytic Solutions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Colocation vs. Managed Hosting A question and answer guide to determining the best fit for your organization - today and in the future. http://p.sf.net/sfu/internap-sfd2d _______________________________________________ Net-snmp-users mailing list [email protected] Please see the following page to unsubscribe or change other options: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/net-snmp-users
