You surely have a point here, but SNMP (which quite oftenly is referenced as being the abbreviation for "security's not my problem") gets regularly bellyached about by security/compliance auditors. I use to have regular run-ins with auditors telling me to shut down SNMP, once even in HACMP clusters (which is impossible without shutting down the cluster software first). Having it running without SNMP being a conditio sine qua non makes for troublesome discussions at best.

rsct is one of the APIs IBM developed only to have nobody use it, as it seems. I know of no monitoring product which uses it and AFAIK the only software building on it is HAMP. Most monitoring software i know (HP-OV, BMC Patrol) use their own agents.

I hope this helps.
