I'd like to support this but haven't done the appropriate #ifdef's to make this happen. That being said, if you don't create users with MD5 as the authentication method you won't actually suffer from the weaker security. The only downside would be the slightly increased code size. (note: there is no SHA256 at all... SHA1 is the only option at this point (though most people consider SHA1 safe when used as part of the HMAC algorithm, which SNMPv3 uses)) -- Wes Hardaker Sparta, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Net-snmp-coders mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/net-snmp-coders
