Hi group,

I've been tasked to get bsnmpd V3 working for my company. The post referenc=
ed in the subject above gave me some insights but I'm still stuck and was w=
ondering if you would take the time to answer some questions. I'm a snmpV3 =
newbie and have never worked with bsnmpd. I have worked minimally with net-=
snmp V2.

First, is there a document listing all of the configuration options in the =
snmpd.confg file? It appears to differ from other packages such as net-snmp=
.

Are there examples of how to setup a user for authorization and privacy? Do=
esn't the encryption key need to be placed in the config file in addition t=
o the hash key (i.e., sha)? If so, what is the syntax? If not, how does the=
 host being queried derive the encryption key? For example, if bsnmpwalk on=
 host A queries remote host B, how does host B decrypt/encrypt the data?

If host A is going to query several other bsnmp hosts, do all hosts need to=
 have the same engine ID? Does host A have to have all V3 users for all hos=
ts defined in its snmpd.config?

Could you provide an example bsnmpwalk query that shows how to enter all in=
formation on the command line when performing a V3 request?

Do you have any examples of how to setup bsnmpd V3 traps?

Lastly, are there any patches required for FreeBSD 10.?

Thanks in advance.
