HP Top-Tools software have discovered several HP-UX hosts (10.20/11.0) available to talk with "everybody" thru community definition. How I can avoid this security trouble?

Re: Community definition

change the community name of your snmp servers.

Edit /etc/snmpd.conf and restart snmpd via /sbin/init.d/snmpd

Re: Community definition

Rainer,

In fact, I have changed get-community-name from public to a private into /etc/snmpd.conf file and everything is fine now.

I not possible restart snmp daemon via option, for this I have killed the daemon first and then I have started it by usr/sbin/snmpdm. This is, at least, in HP-UX 11.0.

Regards
