This change introduces "wildcard" SNMP engine ID (0x00000000). Right
before deciding on firing up SNMP engine ID discovery and key
localization procedure, originating SNMP engine will check for
the presence of this magical engine ID (5 zeros), if it is present
in LCD along with the user name being used, localized keys from that
entry will be used.

Does this have security implications?
