          <p>[agent] Sematic fixes to SNMP-USER-BASED-SM-MIB.
	  The semantics allow the <c>usmUserAuthKeyChange</c> and 
	  <c>usmUserPrivKeyChange</c> objects to be written to in the 
	  same set requests that also creates and clones the user. 
	  This was not possible beforehand, causing test tools checking 
	  semantic SNMPv3 behaviour to fail on a lot of test cases. </p>
	  <p>Furthermore, once the user has been cloned by writing to an 
	  instance of <c>usmUserCloneFrom</c>, further set-operations to 
	  the same object will not return an error, but be no-ops. 
	  Especially, it must be avoided to copy security parameters 
	  again (possibly even from a different user). </p>

          <p>[agent] Errors in <c>vacmAccessTable</c> RowStatus handling.
	  There are problems with the handling of vacmAccessTableStatus 
	  that cause some SNMP test suites to report errors.
	  Most notably, erroneous set operations frequently cause "genErr" 
	  errors to be returned. These "genErr" errors are usually caused 
	  by badmatch exceptions coming from 
	  <c>{ok, Row} = snmpa_vacm:get_row(RowIndex)</c> 
	  if the row does not exist. </p>
	  <p>The semantics of the RowStatus handling in that table has 
	  been adjusted to be compliant with the RowStatus
	  textual description of SNPMv2-TC MIB. </p>
