I am running net-snmp 5.7.3 on an embedded linux platform.

It seems to me my oldEngineID is changed upon each restart of the daemon.


I stop the daemon.

I create a user in the persistent snmpd.conf through createUser.

I restart the daemon and oldEngineID matches that of the usmUser created. I can use the user to to read OIDs.

When I restart the daemon again, the oldEngineID changes, but the usmUser created is still the same. The created user is also not recognized anymore.


I don't change the EngineID anywhere in the non-persistent snmpd.conf at all.

Any help appreciated.
