[SNMP4J] USM table

[Frank Fock]

Hi,

You will have to add the different users with the same security name
with their engine ID. Otherwise SNMPv3 (i.e. the USM) does not
know which one to use. This is a requirement that comes from
the SNMPv3 standard - is not a shortcoming of SNMP4J.

Best regards,
Frank
