I think you dreamed it.  I am not able to use devmon because it doesn't
support snmp v3.  Devmon is written in perl and uses the SNMP_utils
libraries originally distributed with MRTG, while MRTG now also distributed
the Net_SNMP-utils libraries that do support snmp v3.  Henrik discussed snmp
support using the Net SNMP C libraries that would support snmp v3.

It would mean a complete rewrite for devmon to integrate it properly and
cleanly.
