Hi,

Edit these files under /etc/rc.config.d
SnmpHpunix SnmpMaster
And put "0" for the Startup values.

regards,

Hi Andrew,

Workaround for HP-UX Systems:

If a patch is not available for your platform or you cannot
install an available patch, snmpd and snmpdm can be disabled
by removing their entries from /etc/services and removing the
execute permissions from /usr/sbin/snmpd and /usr/sbin/snmpdm.

Hi

For a greater explanation of the daemons associated with snmp, have a look at the man pages.

There are config files in /etc/rc.config.d that follow standard procedure during system boot up

/etc/rc.config.d/SnmpMib2

you have

SNMP_MIB2_START=1 # Start the MIB2 SNMP Sub Agent.

To disable at boot simply change the 1 to a 0
