yes, if you use this function, _one_ entry for the given engine id is 
created. You can do this for every engine id and there is no need to 
allways add and delete the users.

It has to be the real engine id of the remote agent.
To get it, you can either use use a temporary Snmp object and call the 
engine_id_discovery() function or send a dummy get request with an empty 
user name to the agent and use the v3MP::get_from_engine_id_table() 
function afterwards.
