I looked at the script for 5.1.2.pre2 as well, and it is lower case.
Although, I haven't used it since 5.1.1.
Maybe my memory was wrong, or the 5.1.1 script was wrong.
Either way, it is case sensitive, and now I know.

Thanks for the help.

Brian

Strange.
I thought that config directives were meant to be case insensitive?

In any case, the "net-snmp-config" script ought to be
generating something that works!

<tap, tap, tap>
Aha!
The main handling of configure directives is case insensitive,
but the internal checks within "vacm_parse_simple" are not!

I'm not sure why the net-snmp-config script was doing that,
though.   I've checked the source, and it's had "rwuser" right
from the very start.
