Requirement: The osnmp command requires that all fields for a given entry are specified on a single line. For readability, the following sample has been formatted such that long entries are wrapped to the next line.
# osnmp.conf sample

# Notes
# - Keys in this file must not be localized.
# - All keys need to be regenerated using the pwtokey command in order
# for these sample entries to actually be used.
# - In this sample:
# - Keys are generated for use with engineID 00000002000000000943714F
# - Authentication keys were generated with password of
# username+"password", such as "u1password"
# - Privacy keys were generated with password of
# username+"privpass", such as "u1privpass"
#
# Format of entries (SNMPv3):
#
# winSnmpName targetAgent admin secName password context secLevel authProto authKey privProto privKey
