[Bug 1322431] Re: libsnmp-dev: Cannot create snmpv3 user with net-snmp-config command

[Wylie]

This bug (rather just an oversight) pisses me off to no end. It seems as
simple as not including the shell script that runs the create-v3-user.
The workaround did not work for me, so I copied /usr/bin/net-snmp-
create-v3-user from a Centos 6.4 machine. I changed the "outdir"
variable at the bottom of the script to /var/lib/snmp (as it is on
14.04).

1. sudo vi /usr/bin/net-snmp-create-v3-user
2. Paste contents of this: http://pastebin.com/uC3y5Kyz
3. chmod +x /usr/bin/net-snmp-create-v3-user

Then run:

net-snmp-create-v3-user -a PASSWORD -x PASSWORD  -X DES -A MD5 snmpuser

It essentially does the same as the workaround, but the workaround did
not work for me. So there it is. I guess update the package to include
this file again?
