SNMPv3 Users

[DES|AES] [privpassphrase]
===> This directive should be placed into the
/var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf file instead of the
other normal locations. The reason is that the
information is read from the file and then
the line is removed (eliminating the storage of the
master password for that user) and
replaced with the key that is derived from it.

The agent has tried to perform the processing described above, but with only
limited success. It's managed to write out the 'usmUser' line (which
was meant to
replace the original createUser entry), but it couldn't remove the redundant
createUser line, because this was in the wrong file.
You've actually now completed this processing by removing the line manually.
