snmpd log

[KOG]

Hi,

Does this need to be concerned about?

The snmpd.log seems to be filling up everyday?

$ ls -l

-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 2875148 Jul 25 11:21 snmpd.log
$ tail snmpd.log

If you don't need the daemons running or the authentication MIBs information, you can stop it and keep it from restarting at reboot? BUT be sure you don't need it for your database or network stats before wacking it. or simply turn logging off if your filesystem is filling up, in the snmpd.conf file.

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) daemon is a background server
process that can be run on any Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP) workstation host. The daemon, acting as SNMP agent, receives,
authenticates, and processes SNMP requests from manager applications.

The dpid2 daemon is
required to run snmpd.

Workaround:

Stop the snmpd and dpid2 daemons and disable them to be started
automatically.

1.To stop the snmpd daemon normally, enter:

# stopsrc -s snmpd

2.To stop the dpid2 daemon normally, enter:

# stopsrc -s dpid2

This command stops the daemon. The -s flag specifies the subsystem that follows
to be stopped.

3. To disable the daemons on the next reboot:
You must modify the rc.tcpip file and uncomment the two daemons.
# vi /etc/rc.tcpip
select the line
# Start up the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) daemon
start /usr/sbin/snmpd "$src_running"

and

# Start up the DPID2 daemon
start /usr/sbin/dpid2 "$src_running"

and add a # before "start /usr/sbin/...)

4. To verify type
# lssrc -g tcpip
The only daemon that must be active is "inetd"
