How to Change an SNMPv3 Trap Session in snmpd

Hi.  Is it possible to change attributes on an SNMP trap session, such as authentication type?  It looks like the USM behavior is to match by name, so not change an existing trap session in its list, when snmpd is sent a reconfig signal.  The same thing happens if the trap session is deleted from the snmpd.conf file, the signal sent, then re-added with different attributes, and snmpd signaled again.

This is using a trapsess statement of the form:

trapsess -v 3 -u notifyUser -l authNoPriv -a MD5 -A "whoAreYou" 10.134.1.9

It doesn't seem to matter whether the /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf or "user-accessible" /cfg/etc/config/snmpd.conf file is updated.  So new traps get sent with the original authentication protocols.

Thanks in advance for your advice.  This is version 5.7.1 on Linux.
