> 2.3.  SNMP Service Authorization

> 
>    There are no combinations of RADIUS attributes that denote the
>    equivalent of SNMP noAuthNoPriv access, as RADIUS always involves the
>    authentication of a user (i.e. a principal) as a prerequisite for
>    authorization.  RADIUS can be used to to provide an "Authorize-Only"
> 
> Extra "to".
> 
>    service, but only when the request contains a "cookie" from a
>    previous successful authentication with the same RADIUS server (i.e.
>    the RADIUS State Attribute).

> 
> 5.  Security Considerations

> 
>    The Message-Authenticator (80) attribute [RFC3579] SHOULD be used
>    with RADIUS messages that are described in this memo.
> 
> Some explanation of why would be helpful here.
