+1 to both.

I hadn't thought about administering user accounts from the config  
UI, rather I was thinking of the ability to add a public key for  
password-less access by monitoring scripts, etc. Perhaps this is not  
worth exposing to a UI and is better managed with traditional tools.

I had success setting up a vendor import of Net-SNMP and building it  
in the past, but it's broken for me at the moment. If I get it  
working again I'll commit.
