Are you talking about snmpd? I just edit/recreate snmpd.conf to match the
users defined in the GUI, then give snmpd the interrupt to re-read snmpd.conf.
As far as which snmpd.conf, it's the one supplied when starting snmpd, in my
case "-c/cfg/etc/config/snmpd.conf".

Subject: net-snmp security conundrum
I am trying to write a GUI for net-snmp on a FreeBSD based appliance and I am
struggling with the security model. The way I see it, I can create/modify
usmUsers in one of two ways.
1) via directly editing the static and persistent config files
2) via commands like snmpuser
If I chose method 1, then I need some way to associate the rouser/rwuser line
in the static config with the appropriate usmUser line in the persistent
config, and I can't seem to find a way to do that.
If I choose method 2, then I need to have an rwuser for use by the GUI whose
password can only be modified from localhost. I suspect this might be possible
to do using views, but I sure haven't been able to figure it out yet.
Thoughts, comments, opinions, please.
