Fairly recently, there was a brief discussion of which snmpd.conf directives were intended for use by network admins for configuring the agent, and which were more intended as "internal" directives, used to maintain the state of the agent across reboots. It was suggested then that we should document these internal directives as such.
I'd like to propose that we start a move to separate such internal directives from user-level directives, by naming them distinctively. The most obvious approach would probably be to use a leading underscore. So a directive such as "_usmUser" would be clearly recognisable as an internal directive (with no further documentation required), as distinct from "createUser" which would be intended for admin use. Obviously, we'd still need to recognise any existing internal directives (for backward compatibility), but we could start saving state using the new form. Comments?
