Ok.  I set my agent to use passphrases for the privacy key and I can get 
it to work using "-x AES -X mypassphrase" :)

However, I have a need to use Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange to generate 
better privacy keys.  I use the "snmpusm ... -Cx changekey" command from 
a Debian Unstable box, and it changes the key to a random 128 bit value 
and outputs this value to the screen as a hex string 
(0xhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh).  I can then pass the localized key 
directly to snmpget using the 
--defPrivLocalizedKey=0xhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh instead of -X 
mypassphrase.
It works fine on my Debian unstable system, but not using the win32 
binaries.

So I guess the win32 build does not:
 * correctly implement the --defPrivLocalizedKey option
 * correctly implement the "snmpusm -Cx changekey" command.

Can anyone else confirm this?

Cheers, Brendan.
