[SNMP4J] Need help in understanding how msgAuthoritativeEngineBoots is populated

[Frank Fock]

Hi,

The engineBoots counter is set when you create the USM. See
http://www.snmp4j.org/doc/org/snmp4j/security/USM.html#USM(org.snmp4j.security.SecurityProtocols, 
org.snmp4j.smi.OctetString, int)

Best regards,
Frank
