Thanks Dave and Wes. Wes, if you are using snmpusm command and you have already created the user and you want to change the password and provide the new password in hashed format, not in clear passphrase format, how would you do it, what will be the command?
I know -Ck option is for localized format but my password is hashed (in MD5 or in SHA format) and that is how it will be supplied to me from a remote authentication server.

In short: 1) All the options you need to authenticate/etc the SNMPv3 USM user *making* the request need to go before the USM command (eg, like "clone"). 2) All of the options that affect the command itself and tell it how to set the password for the user you're operating *on* need to go after the command. This allows for separation of the user being acted upon from the user performing the maintenance. -- Wes Hardaker Please mail all replies to net-snmp-coders@lists.sourceforge.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
