…updating This fixes an issue where the generates hashes are not being re-generated on Debian. Stopping the previous service, deleting the file will cause snmpd to re-generate the /var/lib/snmp/snmpd.conf config file with the new authentication hashes.

What do you think about #30, does it fix your problems? |
|
Hi, |
|
The only problem is that you need to stop the service before editing the file, it's a requirement because snmpd updates the file on exit, making a restart override the changes |
|
Better this way? |
|
It seems ok, althrough you could cleanup the names and use "start" instead of "restart" because you stopped it before, the rest of the pr seems fine to me, thank you for your work too :) |
