Template:FAQ:Agent 26
From Net-SNMP Wiki
That's deliberate. The agent removes the (human-readable) 'createUser'
directive, and replaces it with an equivalent 'usmUser'. This
contains the same information, but in a form that's only meaningful
internally. This means that the password is not longer stored in
a human-readable form. Additionally, the password has been converted
to a key that can only be used to access the local machine. If someone
stole the new usmUser line on this machine, they could not use that
information to access any of your other agents.
