Using NetSNMP with SNMPv3 USM and VACM

We just released Unbrowse SNMP 1.5 today ! 

R1.5 features support for managing SNMPv3 users and views in a very easy to use manner. You do not have to worry about underlying MIB tables and such. Everything is visual, including management of MIB views.

A few people have expressed a desire to use Unbrowse to work with USM and VACM in Net-SNMP based agents. We already talked in detail about an issue with Net-SNMP (Release 5.4) and VACM in this post.

We submitted two patches to the Net-SNMP open source project. It may take a while for them to get accepted. In the meantime, please apply these patches yourself.

Please leave a comment here (or email us ) if you want help with applying these patches.
