creating users with different security levels

Hi,

I can create an initial SNMPv3 user with authNoPriv and MD5, using
net-snmp-create-v3-user, and then clone it with snmpusm. No problem,
all straight from the docs.

Now I need a user with SHA-AES and authPriv, on the same agent. Per
snmpusm(1), I assume I would create a template user, and then clone
that user for the real user.

Can I use snmpusm to create that template user? Or do I need to shut
down snmpd and use net-snmp-create-v3-user to make the template user?

(Some context: I'm writing a book on using SNMP, with net-snmp as the
reference implementation. I have no problem using the less than
correct method if I'm getting my own work done, but I'd like to offer
the most correct solutions I can.)

Thanks,
==ml
