How to add/delete snmp user by snmp itself?

Hi list, I want to add/delete snmp users by snmp itself. I refresh snmpd.conf, but, as you know, we should stop and restart snmpd to make this new user valid. I do not like this! So, when a request comes, I call usm_parse_create_usmUser() for v3 and vacm_parse_simple() for v1 and v2c to add a u

sysUpTime

Hi >From system_mib.c , the sysUpTime is calculated using the current time and "starttime". But when the system time changes, the sysUpTime shows a wrong value. Did anybody face this problem? If so how was this overcome . And is there any particular reason as to why sysUpTime is obtained from c

AgentX master configuration question

Hello, I am using 5.2.1 on fedora core 2 machines.  I am trying to setup agentX for a group of machines that live in a sheltered part of my network.  There is one host that can see the rest of the network and I would like to turn this host into the Master.  I was hoping someone could help me

Disabling usm for forwarding v3 messages in 5.3.0.1

Hi. I read in the release notes that the trap fowrarding authentication has been rewritten in 5.3.0.1. The notes imply that it's possible to disable this authentication, but don't say how. Can I please get a pointer to instructions? I have a patch for 5.2.1 (which I'm about to forward port) fo

First of all Dave, You have been really helpful (at least to me) lately. I truly appreciate it, and I hope I'm not a nag. Now, This reminds me when you told me about the netsnmp_query_get() (included in net-snmp-5.3), 1) Does netsnmp_query_get() allow a sub-agent to query a different sub-agent

What is the Callback transport?

I hope my question is not dumb: ( but I'm not familiar with the callback transport)   1) Is that a common Linux transport interface?( Is is a local machine interprocess interface?) 2) Is it net-snmp transport? 3) Do sub-agents by default (like when using the example template), use the call

about 4): Yes I read the relevant FAQ, they don't say anything about cutting down the size of libraries. 1) libnetsnmphelpers (~300KB): can I reduce it's size if I don't use all helpers? 2) libnetsnmpmibs (~2MB): a) can I reduce it's size if I don't choose to support (configure with --with
