[erlang-questions] Two SNMP questions: SHA auth + authPriv, authenticationFailure trap

Greetings -- I've got a couple of SNMP-related questions.
1. Does anyone have an Erlang/OTP SNMP agent that can successfully
handle the crypto required by 'authPriv' (either DES or AES) when
using the SHA authentication method?
If yes, then would you mind sending me a copy of a "usm.conf" entry
that works? (Along with the clear-text passphrases :-) I'm trying
to figure out if my SHA auth failures are due to a configuration
problem, an OTP bug, or something else.(*)
2. Sorry, this is an SNMPv3 newbie question, but I'm anticipating a
probably-going-to-be-asked question from our customer.
If my Erlang/OTP SNMP agent receives an SNMPv3 query with a bad
user name (a usmStatsUnknownUserNames error) or bad authentication
passphrase (a usmStatsWrongDigests error), ...
... is my app supposed to be sending an authenticationFailure
trap? I have snmpEnableAuthenTraps.0 set to enabled(1), but it
isn't clear to me if the authenticationFailure is only for v1 or
v2c auth errors or for all auth errors.

(*) Yes, I've asked this question before. The problem I'm seeing is
one where I get usmStatsDecryptionErrors errors when authenticating
with a SHA digest. The privacy encryption method, DES or AES, doesn't
matter. If I use MD5 auth with the same encryption method (either
one), I have no problem.
