By the way, one thing that I've notice in the tests that I'm sure that has already been notice by someone. If the "if" clause of "cloneFrom" is in place and if we create a user in persistent snmpd.conf that has limited oid access (defined in the other snmpd.conf), there is no way of changing this user's password ever. It can't be change by other user because it hasn't been cloned and it cannot change its own password because of the oid's limitation (no Access error).

No - that feels the wrong thing to look for. What if someone has inserted two or three "createUser" lines at the same time? I've already indicated what I think is the right approach - to check whether the SET request being processed is part of creating a new user or not. i.e. whether 'statP' has a non-null value. That would imply something like the following (untested): if (statP == NULL && uptr->cloneFrom == NULL) { return SNMP_ERR_INCONSISTENTNAME; } However, I do suggest you wait until Wes has had a chance to comment on this discussion. He understands the SNMPv3 model somewhat better than I do. (Remember, us Europeans are several hours in advance of the US West Coast!)
