Hi

Is there a way to encrypt passwords in the snmpd.conf file? Currently, when
we open snmpd.conf file we can look at passwords in plaintext format, is
there a way to store those passwords in encrypted form. Does net-snmp
support any encryption/decryption of passwords while reading from
snmpd.conf?

Secondly, if there is no such encryption/decryption mechanism available in
net-snmp, how can we secure the snmpd.conf file?
