Full Discussion: Disable snmpd for good
Operating Systems AIX Disable snmpd for good Post 302784511 by MichaelFelt on Friday 22nd of March 2013 11:25:37 AM
Old 03-22-2013
I will have to look for doing it "manually", give me a moment, to a day (as I have a plane to catch shortly).

1) Use smitty otherserv to turn it off

Ulimately, it will do/tell you (I found it already!) to use this command.
# /usr/sbin/chrctcp -S -d snmpd

However, if you are hardening AIX, a much easier way is to use aix security expert - aixpert.
# aixpert -l h probably does more than you want.
# aixpert -l m is a good basic starting point.

You can do them in either order, aixpert knows what to do. FYI you can also create a custom XML file (once you understand better whet you want) to make something different.

To save a lot of typing - I recommend reading the man page and/or Security.pdf (to be found at/via AIX InfoCenter).
