usernames in SNMPv3

Hi,

I am adding users in SNMP V3 using the following
command:
 createUser username (MD5|SHA) authpassphrase [DES]"
and defining traps using:
 trapsess -v3 -u username -l <level> -a ... -x ..

both are working fine (SNMP access and trap 
generation), however when I use the same username 
for both (access and traps) with different 
passwords or authentication algorithms, the trapsess 
parameters take precedence.

It seems like usernames need to be unique and if 
the same username appears a second time, it 
overwrites the first entry. While this seems to be 
correct if say the username appears twice with two
creatUser commands, why cant the same username 
appear once in access and once in the traps section 
with different parameters? One seems to be an entry
for the agent, and the other, used only by the 
manager, right?

Thanks in advance,
PB
