Hello,

In /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, I configured by following snmpd.conf.example

engineID "BQTP45000357"

After I started snmpd, saw oldEngineID is generated in /var/lib/net-snmpd
engineBoots 1
oldEngineID 0x80001f88042242515450343530303033353722

Have a couple questions here.
1st question: How is oldEngineID is generated?  Via some reading and
searching, looks:

oldEngineID = Enterprise PEN + 0x04 + engineID.
But here, we see 22 is appended. Looks " is also converted.

2nd question:  How can I change Enterprise PEN(1f88)  to company's
Enterprise PEN.
    Should I compile the source code or some configuration can do the trick?

3rd question:  What EngineID I should use for "createUser" directive?
Using engineID("BQTP45000357") seems does not work for snmptrapd.

Thank you in advance,

Roy
