My syslogd logs are being flooded with errors from snmpd which look like
Code:
Sep  4 14:34:53 myhost snmpd[41574]: EXCEPTIONS: authentication error: invalid community name: public
Sep  4 14:34:54 myhost snmpd[41574]: EXCEPTIONS: authentication error: invalid community name: hacmp
Sep  4 14:34:59 myhost snmpd[41574]: EXCEPTIONS: authentication error: invalid community name: public

Sep  4 14:35:45 myhost snmpd[41574]: EXCEPTIONS: authentication error: invalid community name: hacmp
Sep  4 14:36:03 myhost last message repeated 4 times
Sep  4 14:36:08 myhost snmpd[41574]: EXCEPTIONS: authentication error: invalid community name: public

HACMP demands that we run snmpd.
snmpd.conf looks like
Code:
logging         file=/usr/tmp/snmpd.log         disabled        
logging         size=0                          level=0

smux            1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.1.2.1.2         gated_password  # gated
smux            1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.1.2.2.1.1.2     dpid_password   #dpid
 
smux     1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.1.2.1.5      clsmuxpd_password # HACMP/ES for AIX clsmuxpd
Any ideas? What should I be looking at?
