2)
What sounds easier to implement in Net-SNMP?
a) patching SNMPv3 security module
to bypass USM and VACM when peer's IP address is internal
(loopback).
b) create a new degenerated security
module. (from SNMP architecture perspective, this is the preffered
solution)

Subject: Bypassing USM for internal requests.
Hey,
I would like to
bypass the USM model for local applications' requests.
Meaning that I'd
like applications on the local machine (running the Master agent), to be able
to access MIB objects (using SNMP get/set), but without USM authentication
or authorization.
1) How can I
create a session (which the master agent listens on) without USM/VACM? (any
guidelines would be appreciated)
1a) Can the authentocator field in the snmp_session structure help
here in any way? (what does it do?)
thanks,
Erez
