SNMPv3 user will be set to NONVOLATILE and couldn't be deleted

[Zhouhuai Shen]

Hi,

When I have created a snmpv3 user, looks like the user's type was set to NONVOLATILE. As a result of this, the next snmpd restart will save this user to a non-volatile config file -- snmpd.conf. This user will be persistent forever. Does anyone know why and how I can delete the user if I have to?

Thanks, Henry

Yep, perform an SNMP set the usmUserStatus column for that user to 6 (destroy).
