[SNMP4J] Question about User Localization (Agent side)

[Frank Fock]

Hi,

The SNMPv3 USM uses localized users on the wire. That's why you cannot
see the any difference. Even for a "non-localized" user in SNMP4J, a 
localized
will be created internally in the USM (on-the-fly).

Besgt regards,
Frank
