True, though the "initial-no-access-configuration" is in some ways a
pathological case.  It begs the question of how the system *ever*
comes to be managed.  :-)

I'm still not persuaded that SnmpEngineIDs should be regarded as
sensitive information in general.  With USM, they show up on  the
wire in the clear, perhaps revealing the most in the case of notifications.
(msgAuthoritativeEngineID in the UsmSecurityParameters carried
as msgSecurityParameters of SNMPv3Message)
