Dave,
Thanks for your answer. The thing is that the RFC 3414 says
usmUserCloneFrom OBJECT-TYPE
...
"The first time an instance of this object is set by
a management operation (either at or after its
instantiation), the cloning process is invoked.
Subsequent writes are successful but invoke no
action to be taken by the receiver."
And according to the Net-SNMP code, if you issue a set to the
cloneFrom OID of an user that has been read from the config/persistent
file. The agent is returning 'inconsistentName' instead of no error as
the RFC.
The problem is because these users that were read from the
config file, have the cloneFrom OID value equal to NULL. So, in the
write_usmUserCloneFrom() function at line 762, the following code
/*
* Has the user already been cloned? If so, writes to this
variable
* are defined to have no effect and to produce no error.
*/
if (uptr->cloneFrom != NULL) {
return SNMP_ERR_NOERROR;
}
Is not executed. I think this can be fixed if we decide an OID value for
the cloneFrom OID (0.0?) of the users that are going to be created
directly in the configuration file instead using SNMP.
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Pablo.
