@Canoncial: quick win This really is an easy to solve issue / quick win. Please include: /usr/bin/net-snmp-create-v3-user this will fix this issue (see comment #10 by Wylie for details)
@all other users: Workaround does really work ======================= Adding a the createUser line to snmpd as described by Sascha Lucas in comment #4 works also, because is is basically the same steps the script does. Do not be confused, while starting the snmpd does this steps: 1. read the "createUser" line in /var/lib/snmp/snmpd.conf 2. add a new "usmUser" line in /var/lib/snmp/snmpd.conf 3. remove the "createUser" line Sure, this may look as if nothing is done or the file is just reset to default, but the user is really created. Verify User Creation ================ Say you created user icinga authprotocol SHA authpassphrase 'P1' privacyprotocol AES privacypassphrase 'P2' then you can check if there is output for: # snmpwalk -v3 -u icinga -l authPriv -a SHA -A 'P1' -x AES -X 'P2' localhost Kind regards, Thorsten -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to net-snmp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1322431 Title: libsnmp-dev: Cannot create snmpv3 user with net-snmp-config command To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/net-snmp/+bug/1322431/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
