Creating user in snmp V3

[Sanjay Madan]

Hi All,   I got a requirement of creating snmp user in snmp V3. I am able to make a new user  in snmpv3 in net-snmp-5.0.8 on Linux. But now the problem is that when I try to create new user while running "/home/sanjay/net-snmp-5.0.8/agent/snmpd -d" snmp-agent using the command "net-snmp-config --create-snmpv3-user -a passwd -A MD5 user", I am successful. But when I stop this agent and start agent from different place , that is "/usr/local/sbin/snmpd -d" and run the above specified "net-snmp-config" command I am not successful. I get an error message like " Apparently at least one snmpd demon is already running. You must stop them in order to use this command." While I do not want to restart my snmp agent .Why is that so? Have you ever come across with such type problem?   WIth Regards; Sanjay Madan
