Re: SNMPv3 authPriv informs (trapsess)

Thanks Colin,

I'm trying to avoid the clear-text passwords on the trapsess line.

For traps, I have:

    createUser trapUser SHA authPass AES privPass

in /var/lib/snmp/snmpd.conf, and

    trapsess -v3 -u trapUser -l authPriv 192.168.1.215

in /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.

And it works. The traps are properly authenticated and encrypted (I'm
testing with wiershark).

However, I still can't get the informs to work without clear text
passwords on the trapsess. 

I still need help.
