Hi,
 
We need to provision the SNMP Agent with SNMPv3 user configuration from GUI and we are using the following steps to do the same:
 
1.    Stop any SNMP daemon running on the system using kill command.
2.    Add the following line in the file /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf  createUser <username> SHA "<password>" AES
3.    Add the following line in the file /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf
rwuser <username>
4.    Start the snmpd daemon – snmpd -d
The issue is that every time a new user is configured, the SNMP Agent needs to be restarted which is not acceptable to the stakeholders. The re-read of configuration file using the command kill –HUP (without restart) does not reload the persistent file. The net-snmp-config command needs restart of the agent.
The utility snmpusm will have to be built on Montavista  (target machine) to configure v3 users. Please suggest a mechanism where the SNMPv3 user add/delete will not need Agent restart.
 
We are usuing net-snmp 5.7.1 version.
