Hopefully I've remember correctly on this...
Basically, yes. The cloned user will have the same authentication and privacy settings as the cloned-from user. So if the original user didn't specify any privacy settings, then the newly-cloned user won't have any either. And if (either) user doesn't have privacy settings associated with it, then it inherently can't be used for encrypted requests - since there isn't an encryption password (or algorithm) to use. > Anyway, yes- set up a user with auth and priv credentials. Yup - it's always sensible to create SNMPv3 users with both auth and priv settings, even if you don't expect to use encryption. This allows you to change your mind later.
