OK, now what ends up in your snmpd log file after you restart the agent? You must restart snmpd before you can use any new createUser lines. Also note that your persistent createUser lines in /var/lib/net-snmp/snmpd.conf will change to more cryptic usmUser lines after they're processed by the agent. > the password I've set is actually 16 chars long, just didn't want to > write it here That's fair. > >> Logfile says: > >> > >>> /var/lib/net-snmp/snmpd.conf: line 35: Error: Unknown authentication > >> protocol > >> > >> line 35 is > >> > >>> oldEngineID 0x80001f8880b7ecfe285bdf654300000000 I suspect the line number weirdness might have something to do with the createUser -> usmUser transformation. I am also a bit mystified as to why the script used "MD5" as the authentication protocol; as far as I know this datum should not be double quoted but should read MD5. Notice how the encryption selection is not quoted (DES)? It might be useful to add your own createUser lines by hand to experiment. > > Any encryption requires that your SUSE platform has the OpenSSL > > libraries installed > On the system is openssl 0.9.7e , openssl-32bit 9.3 and openssl-devel > 0.9.7e installed. That's good. You didn't seem to get snmpd errors complaining about invalid encryption selections, which are expected when the agent doesn't have access to OpenSSL. I think you're suffering from some sort of parsing problem between net-snmp-config and snmpd.
