Information
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) server is used to listen for SNMP
commands from an SNMP management system, execute the commands or collect the
information and then send results back to the requesting system.
*Rationale*
The SNMP server communicates using SNMP v1, which transmits data in the clear and does
not require authentication to execute commands. Unless absolutely necessary, it is
recommended that the SNMP service not be used.
Solution
Remove any start links for snmpd from /etc/rc*.d-# rm /etc/rc*.d/S*snmpd
