You need to have the OpenSSL library installed.
If that's available, then configure will pick this up and
enable full authentication/privacy automatically.

This is an internal token which indicates that the OpenSSL library
was *not* present.    In this case, all privacy support is omitted,
and the only authentication support will be MD5, which is shipped
as part of the Net-SNMP library.

If OpenSSL isn't found, the library uses the internal MD5 routines.
If OpenSSL *is* found, the library uses that instead.

No.  Don't touch this.

Yes

It's actually an indication of *reduced* functionality.
See above.
