Hi folks,

I cannot find a definitive answer so perhaps someone on this list can help. I 
am configuring a v3 trap entry in /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf using trapsess. I see 
numerous examples where the authentication and privacy passwords are specified 
in clear text. This does not seem very secure so I was wondering if there is a 
mechanism for hashing the credentials? I found one posting that suggested using 
the createUser directive but the author indicated he had never tried it to 
confirm that it is a viable approach. Any clarification would be appreciated.
