Hi, The 'net-snmp-create-v3-user' script uses the --with-persistent-directory and the --datadir configuration parameter values for identifying the persistent and configuration files that it modifies.
Two questions: 1. Is there a particular reason for why --datadir and not --sysconfdir is used to identify the 'snmpd.conf' file to write to? 2. What is the rationale for supporting both --datadir and --syconfdir with respect to the configuration file? That is, if these both represent different directories then configuration information is spread between both of these system locations (*). Thanks, -David * In my case I'd like to isolate the system 'snmpd.conf' to a single directory (in my case '/etc', --sysconfdir) but also keep other SNMP data files (i.e., MIBs) elsewhere (in my case '/usr/share', --datadir), but I don't want an 'snmpd.conf' in this latter location. Can this be done? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
