Unknown user name - again!

[Paul P. <Pau...@ds...>]

Hi - I'm trying to talk to an APC power rail:

using NET-SNMP version 5.3.0.1

snmpwalk -v 3 -u myuser -l authNoPriv -a MD5 -A myuserpowermyuserapc -c 
public   10.10.4.113

I recieve   snmpwalk: Unknown user name

I also get this every 30 seconds:

error on subcontainer 'ia_addr' insert (-1)
error on subcontainer 'ia_addr' insert (-1)
error on subcontainer 'ia_addr' insert (-1)
error on subcontainer 'ia_addr' insert (-1)
error on subcontainer 'ia_addr' insert (-1)
error on subcontainer 'ia_addr' insert (-1)
error on subcontainer 'ia_addr' insert (-1)
error on subcontainer '' insert (-1)
error on subcontainer '' insert (-1)
error on subcontainer '' insert (-1)
error on subcontainer '' insert (-1)
error on subcontainer '' insert (-1)
error on subcontainer '' insert (-1)
error on subcontainer '' insert (-1)
error on subcontainer '' insert (-1)



I have set up the user on the server thusly:

# net-snmp-config --create-snmpv3-user -a "aoscpoweruserapc" aoscpower

adding the following line to /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf:
createUser myuser MD5 "myuserpowermyuserapc" DES
adding the following line to /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf:
rwuser myuser


all files have the lines specified.
I start the daemon:

snmpd -f -Le -Dread_config -Dusm &


and get:

read_config: /var/lib/net-snmp/snmpd.conf:1 examining: createUser myuser 
MD5 "myuserpowermyuserapc" DES
read_config: Found a parser.  Calling it: createUser / myuser MD5 
"aoscpoweruserapc" DES
usmUser: created a new user myuser

but later get:  (don't know if significant)


read_config: /var/lib/net-snmp/snmp.local.conf: No such file or directory
net-snmp: 1 error(s) in config file(s)
read_config: storing: #
# net-snmp (or ucd-snmp) persistent data file.
