1) I create the following entries: ---in /var/ucd-snmp/snmpd.conf createUser userSoni MD5 lightlight DES
---in snmpd.conf(where SNMPCONFPATH is set) rouser userSoni This is how its mentioned in README.snmpv3 file and then I do snmpget -v 3 -l noAuthNoPriv -u userSoni 192.168.1.189:9000 ..OID.. But i get the message snmpget: Unknown user name 2) What can be the wrong? Also, I have seen that /var/ucd-snmp/snmpd.conf file gets read and updated by agent only if it is running as root. But I don't want to run my agent as root(as I don't use the defalut ports 161 and 162 for communication) and for some other reasons also. Same problem I face on the other side with 'snmptrapd' accessing /var/ucd-snmp/snmptrapd.conf file for the user entries. Can anybody suggest an alternative to this?? How can I make agent and trap daemon access the respective files without running as root. 3) In README.snmpv3 file, the entries related to com2sec, group, view and access derivatives are not explained. Are these entries not mandatory to be specified in snmpd.conf for using SNMPv3 ?? OR the combination of 'rouser/rwuser' and 'createUser' is sufficient(at least for the first step) for configuring agent for SNMPv3??
