I'm pretty sure that there's a little remembered Perl script packaged with Net-SNMP that can localize passwords to keys if you provide the remote agent ID. It uses the Perl API provided by Net-SNMP if you want to integrate it into your tools.
I won't have the time to look for it until tonight - if this doesn't ring a bell for someone else, you can download Unbrowse SNMP (free, some advanced features go away after trial) and use the Security -> Localize Key option. The engineID can be found in the same file you dropped your createUser statements in under /var. -davin Mike Ayers wrote: >> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On >> Behalf Of Goltz, Jim (NIH/NLM/LHC) [C] >> Sent: Friday, September 14, 2007 7:32 AM > >> In the JetDirect web configuration pages for our HP LaserJet 9050 is a >> page for configuring SNMP, including SNMPv3 authentication and privacy >> keys.
