And here's the diff to change the crypto defaults. Currently snmp(1) and snmpd(8) don't match up by default since snmp(1) uses md5/des as per RFC3414 (sha-1 is a should, md5 is a must) and net-snmpd's defaults, where snmpd(8) uses sha-1/des.
While I haven't heard that md5 and/or sha1 are broken in HMAC context; I'd argue that using them is bad practice in general and setting them as defaults isn't done anymore. RFC7860 states that usmHMAC192SHA256AuthProtocol is a must and usmHMAC384SHA512AuthProtocol a should. So I'd guess it's best to stick with SHA256 as default, even though the resulting HMAC is truncated to 192 bits. As for the encryption bit, I guess I don't have to explain why changing from DES to AES-128 (RFC3826) by default would be a good decision. Diff should be able to apply stand alone and on previous diff. I want to commit this one at the same time as the previous diff. OK? martijn@ Index: usr.sbin/snmpd/snmpd.conf.5 =================================================================== RCS file: /cvs/src/usr.sbin/snmpd/snmpd.conf.5,v retrieving revision 1.48 diff -u -p -r1.48 snmpd.conf.5 --- usr.sbin/snmpd/snmpd.conf.5 14 Jun 2021 12:28:58 -0000 1.48 +++ usr.sbin/snmpd/snmpd.conf.5 20 Jun 2021 10:37:50 -0000 @@ -276,7 +276,7 @@ must be either or .Ic hmac-sha512 .
