Trying to have the same SNMPv3 user and password over hundreds of hosts

[Josef D. S. P. <jos...@gm...>]

Hello,

I´m using Puppet to manage configuration across al the systems we have in
our company, and as long as we do have a SNMP Module for Puppet, it is not
compatible with Slackware 14.1, where we do need to configure SNMPv3.

Using SNMP v1 or v2 would allow me to have the same configuration file
pushed to all the hosts and all of then would indeed respnd to the same
comunity name and views, etc.

Unfortunally, due to the way SNMPv3 hands the users, I was not able to find
a way to get the data from "/var/lib/net-snmp/snmpd.conf" to work when
copied to another machine.

Is there any way to have a single configuration file (inclusing username
and pass) that could be shared among all the computers using v3?  I trying
setting the EngineID to the same on 2 machines, but this did not worked
either.

Thanks in advance!

Josef
