Hi there,

I am trying to use the Disman to monitor the link up/down in my system.
>From the snmpd.conf documentation, I need to create a V3 user and grant
access to the user. It worked fine on my system and I was able to get link
up/down trap.

My question is - it seems like the SNMP request from outside the world
could also use the user, if someone knows the user/password. Is there a way
to restrict the usage of the user to only DisMan? I know I could make the
user/password random, but this would be a hack. Thank you for your help in
advance.
