Thanks Dave. Yes, removing the user from the list will work. And also, everytime generating and copying the authKey from session to user will also work. Thanks for your suggestion. --regards Hemanth -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dave Shield Sent: Friday, February 03, 2012 5:32 PM To: Hemanth Abbina Cc: [email protected]; Venkateswarlu Yalamandala Subject: Re: Issues with Net-SNMP 5.7.1 USM user list On 3 February 2012 11:45, Hemanth Abbina <[email protected]> wrote: > After some time, I changed the auth password for host X and would like to change > the same in my client dynamically without rebooting my client.

No - it's assuming that if the user exists, then the information is valid. I'm not an expert in this area, and without consulting with those that are, I'm reluctant to start tinkering with the internals of snmpusm.c. The simplest workaround that I can suggest would be to call usm_remove_user() and usm_free_user() on this user, before calling usm_create_user_from_session() again. That would start again from a clean slate, and pick up the settings from the session. I'll see if Wes or one of the others has anything more to say about updating things automatically.
