RE: SNMP authentication problem
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...

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?
