I think that there's still a potential bug here though. create_user_from_session sets the storage type to read-only, but chances are that the user was previously not read-only if it was read from persistent config. I don't know if this would then prevent the usm details being changed for the user via the usm mib (not sure that the agent code actually checks whether a read-only user is being updated). Perhaps it should only set the storage only if it just created the user and leave it as it is if not.

I submitted a patch (1642071) about this yesterday: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1642071&group_i d=12694&atid=312694 > This doesn't quite work as you would hope though. > > While the user information is used to send the trap, the act of > configuring the "trapsess" directive causes create_user_from_session > to set the storage type for the user to "read-only". > When snmpd is stopped and it writes the persistent snmpd.conf > file, it then does not write the information back for this user, > since it ignores those entries that are not non-volatile (in > usm_save_users_from_list) - which this entry was, until messed > about with by create_user_from_session. > So, the next time you start snmpd, it stops working... > > Bug?
