I am using Net-SNMP 5.3.0.1 and I noticed that I can clone a user from a 
template user with security level authpriv and start using it immediately, with 
the template user pass phrases. This seems to be against the RFC 3414 (Section 
5), which requests the usmUserStatus of a cloned user to remain in "notReady" 
until the keys are changed:
 
"usmUserStatus    OBJECT-TYPE
    SYNTAX       RowStatus
    MAX-ACCESS   read-create
    STATUS       current
    DESCRIPTION "The status of this conceptual row.
Until instances of all corresponding columns are appropriately configured, the 
value of the corresponding instance of the usmUserStatus column is 'notReady'.
In particular, a newly created row for a user who employs authentication, 
cannot be made active until the corresponding usmUserCloneFrom and 
usmUserAuthKeyChange have been set.
Further, a newly created row for a user who also employs privacy, cannot be 
made active until the usmUserPrivKeyChange has been set."
 
Is this a bug from Net-SNMP? Any idea of how to solve it?
 
Thanks,
Gabriel
