I am trying to write a GUI for net-snmp on a FreeBSD based appliance and I am struggling with the security model. The way I see it, I can create/modify usmUsers in one of two ways. 1) via directly editing the static and persistent config files 2) via commands like snmpuser If I chose method 1, then I need some way to associate the rouser/rwuser line in the static config with the appropriate usmUser line in the persistent config, and I can't seem to find a way to do that. If I choose method 2, then I need to have an rwuser for use by the GUI whose password can only be modified from localhost. I suspect this might be possible to do using views, but I sure haven't been able to figure it out yet. Thoughts, comments, opinions, please. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The demand for IT networking professionals continues to grow, and the demand for specialized networking skills is growing even more rapidly.
