Hi,
Thanks for your prompt response.
What about the SNMP-VIEW-BASED-ACM-MIB mib, Does the Net-Snmp support it
? , Can I use this mib to add/remove groups/views  ?

Thanks,
Ofer

Yes.

No.
It's part of the overall SNMPv3 *framework*.
It isn't purely linked to use with SNMPv3 requests.

See the FAQ entry:
    I don't understand the new access control
        stuff - what does it mean?

for more details

Good news: Yes - the SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB (RFC 2576)
Bad news:  No  - the Net-SNMP agent doesn't support this MIB
     (and the 'com2sec' settings can't be configured via SNMP)

N/A

?

You should tell the agent to re-read the config, yes.
But it's not necessary to completely restart the agent.

Either send the agent a HUP signal, or set the
UCD-SNMP-MIB::versionUpdateConfig.0 instance to 1

N/A

The N/W admin edits the snmpd.conf file, not the agent.

N/A
