Hi,

man net-snmp-create-v3-user shows this text:

       The net-snmp-create-v3-user shell script is designed to
       create a new user in net-snmp configuration file
       (/var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf by default).

The mentioned file /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf does not exist on
Debian, and indeed the tool actually updates /var/lib/snmp/snmpd.conf.

Please consider updating the man page.

Thanks,
Chris
