[erlang-questions] SNMP manager buggy and/or partialy implemented? (snmp v3 usm problems)

[Dominik Pawlak]

Hi,
I was recently implementing the USM discovery and time synchronization 
feature on the manager side. You can find my work here 
<https://github.com/jinterface-fix/otp> (snmp_* branches). This code is 
based on snmp-4.25.1 - the latest version. We are using this 
successfully in our product - managing different device types.
