I have a working copy of SBSM that is currently only able to
authenticate to a local unix account.  IE, you can use a SNMP session
to a local account on the agent side.  However, the code, though
minimally functional, is not complete.  Most importantly it doesn't
authenticate the agent to the manager yet and thus I don't consider
the code secure [I'm a security geek, so I'm picky and both sides MUST
be authenticated].  Thus, I'm not going to release it.  Since the ISMS
working group hasn't decided to go that direction it is entirely
possible that I won't continue working on it much unless I get a lot
of demand that we should support it anyway.  The ISMS working group is
supposed to be making a decision within the next 2 months (a
recommendation from an evaluation team is due at the end of this
month, though they've slipped that deadline multiple times).

The real question is why do you need the session concept?  What is it
you're trying to gain?  Is it the security aspects associated with the
session, the alternate forms of authentication, or something else?  If
something else, I might be able to give you suggestions.
