I guess I wasn't clear about my methodology. I did use pkgutil for the initial 
load of the package. I did the exact same thing on a Solaris 9 and Solaris 10 
server. (The other Solaris 9 was an OS upgrade without a OpenCSW upgrade. Long 
story.) I found that the Solaris 10 server works just fine while the Solaris 9 
server could not use AES encryption. That's when I began a deeper look at the 
issue. I found that the Solaris 9 snmpwalk command did not have the libcrypt 
module linked into it. The Sol 10 did. That plainly shows that the same version 
of netsnmp for the different versions of Solaris were not compiled the same. As 
I had an urgent need for the snmp commands I began to look at earlier versions. 
The fact that the older (Solaris 8) version works my operational requirements 
have been met. My only other option if I could only use pkgutil was to 
completely remove all OpenCSW packages and configuration files and reload 
everything. This would have taken a long time and I ran the risk of not saving 
a critical configuration.
