Re: [snmpsim-users] consult a problem with snmpsim

1. Choose a non-priveleged user and group (create new or use existing
    nobody/nogroup) and pass them to simulator via the
    --process-user & --process-group options.

    More info here:

    http://snmpsim.sourceforge.net/simulating-agents.html

2. Just remove these files from your variation directory. However they
    won't be used anyway unless you refer to them from your data files.
