Hi All ,
          I am implementing snmp v3 and adding snmpusm to 
create/delete/clone/activate/deactivate the user from our mib file ( remotely ).
but according to SNMPv3 USM specifications (RFC2574)  it says that users are 
created and maintained by adding and modifying rows  to  the  usmUserTable MIB  
table.   To  create  a  new  user  you simply create the row using snmpset.  
this looks fine but :
User's profiles contain private keys that are never transmitted  over the wire 
in clear text (regardless of whether the administration requests are encrypted 
or not).

it means i can not give the auth passphrase and priv passphrase from our mib 
browser .and before sending through wire i cannot encrypt the data .
or this can be done from CLI only .
can any body please help me how to add the functionality of USM and VACM in our 
mib file and this should be as per protocols .
Thanks
Amit
