Hello all,

Below is the entry in persistent /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf before starting
the agent

*createUser -e 0x80001f888089d4a911f47e045e initial MD5 setuppassphrase DES
setuppassphrase*.

Below is the entry in the static  /etc/snmpd.conf
*rwuser initial.*
..
..

After starting the agent..we are trying to perform a snmpwalk operation

*./snmpwalk -v 3 -u initial -l authPriv -a MD5 -A setuppassphrase -x DES -X
setuppassphrase   -e 0x80001f888089d4a911f47e045e localhost
SNMPv2-MIB::system*
*Timeout: No Response from localhost*

If the createUser directive is without the engine id in the persistent file
 then snmpwalk works fine sans the "-e"..

Can anyone hint as to why the snmpwalk does not work when the engine id
option is used with createUser. ? Is there something I am missing ?


Regards
