What success message? "mypw" is too short to work with the net-snmp agents (v5.4.1 and v5.5) that I've used. These require a minimum password length of 8 characters. I believe this restriction is part of the USM. > Logfile says: > > /var/lib/net-snmp/snmpd.conf: line 35: Error: Unknown authentication > protocol > > line 35 is > > oldEngineID 0x80001f8880b7ecfe285bdf654300000000 > > do I have to install a package, so that DES-encryption can be handled? Any encryption requires that your SUSE platform has the OpenSSL libraries installed. But none of this is going to work until you try a longer password, why not use "password?"
