It's not new at all; that behavior has been around since the creation of the SNMPv3 code within Net-SNMP (which at the time was called UCD-SNMP, showing how old this concept is). At the time, encryption wasn't even possible for everyone deploying the code (and the only encryption supported was DES). The world tended to also believe that authentication (ensuring packets weren't modified) was a "must have" but encryption was merely a "would be nice if you could, but it's not critical". -- Wes Hardaker Please mail all replies to net-snmp-coders@lists.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ Net-snmp-coders mailing list Net-snmp-coders@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/net-snmp-coders
