RE: [ECOS] SNMP authentication problem

[Alperen Coskun <a_a_coskunoc@hotmail.com>]

I can create a file named as "snmpd.conf" in run time, write the given usernames, groups etc in it, then in "read_config.c" file, I can set SNMPCONFPATH as the folder to be read. I did it like that. But, I couldn't find a code  where it reads these lines in file...

But, neither it creates a user in usm nor it encrypts&cypts the packets. The thing I want to learn is why it doesn't do it. When I aim to get any parameter from agent, agent says there isn't any user recorded. Am i doing sth wrong?
