Hi,
Thankyou very much for your reply.
The user delete command also requests for a password, I assume I can delete the user using any valid user id and password.
Suppose I have a createuser directive in snmpd.conf and I have changed the password to some ramdom value sometime later after the agent is up using snmpusm, when the agent is shutdown and brought back up (kill -TERM) which password takes precedence. The one in the normal snmpd.conf (createuser directive) or the one in /var/ucd-snmp/snmpd.conf which would have stored the modified password. Is it possible to use the 'createuser' password ??
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Latha.

Please write to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
instead of writing to me personally with questions regarding the
net-snmp (or ucd-snmp) package. You're question is much more likely
to be responded to in a timely matter if you do so. In addition some
people on the -users list have knowledge which I do not, so you may
receive a more complete or more correct answer from them as well.
I would leave backup users around that you can use to help reconfigure
the principal user if it somehow fails...
