Call for testers: SNMPv3 support for bsnmpd(1)

Hi group,

I've been tasked to get bsnmpd V3 working for my company. The post referenced in the subject above gave me some insights but I'm still stuck and was wondering 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? Doesn't the encryption key need to be placed in the config file in addition to 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 hosts defined in its snmpd.config?

Could you provide an example bsnmpwalk query that shows how to enter all information 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.
