Hi,
I am using ucd-snmp. I had a question regarding the snmpv3 user. Your help would be very much appreciated.
I have declared 2 users in the snmpd.conf file as rwuser. I have given the create user directive for the first user. I have enabled both authentication and encrypton. Started the master agent. During runtime I create the second user by cloning from the first user, change the keys for him and delete the first user from whom I cloned. I do all this using snmpusm. I keep changing the keys for the second user once in a while by executing snmpusm from a process. I supply the old key pair and the new key pair to snmpusm. In one such instance (after some successfull attempts), the master agent returns an authentication failure for both the authentication key and the encryption key. My feeling is that somehow the keys in my memory and the master agent's memory are gone out of sync. I am not sure why this happened. Is there a work around for this without restarting the master agent. Is there any snmpusm option with which I can reset the keys to some known value and then change them to what I want ??
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Latha.
