Hi folks, I cannot find a definitive answer so perhaps someone on this list can help. I am configuring a v3 trap entry in /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf using trapsess. I see numerous examples where the authentication and privacy passwords are specified in clear text. This does not seem very secure so I was wondering if there is a mechanism for hashing the credentials? I found one posting that suggested using the createUser directive but the author indicated he had never tried it to confirm that it is a viable approach. Any clarification would be appreciated.
