Description Marc Muehlfeld 2018-01-23 09:24:34 UTC
Description of problem:
The "SYNOPSIS" and "OPTIONS" sections in the "net-snmp-create-v3-user" man page are wrong. Lower case and upper case letters of the options are interchanged. Additionally, the "-a MD5|SHA" option is missing.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
net-snmp-5.7.2-31.el7.x86_64



Steps to Reproduce:
# man net-snmp-create-v3-user



Actual results:
-a authpass
   specify authentication password
-x privpass
   specify encryption password
-X DES|AES
   specify encryption algorithm



Expected results:
-A authpass
   specify authentication password
-X privpass
   specify encryption password
-x DES|AES
   specify encryption algorithm

Additionally, the following option is missing:
-a MD5|SHA



Additional info:
* The output of
  # net-snmp-create-v3-user --help
  is correct.
* The man page is also wrong in RHEL 7.4.
