Proper permission /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
Hi All,

I'm hardening my linux. And I came across with this file.

/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

It's current mod is 644 with root:root ownership and group. Can I make this 640 without hurting the OS? Meaning no public read access. Does other resources need to read to it?

Thanks and more power.

do you use a nagios-like software to monitor your pc/printers/routers/etc ?

as far as i know a great number of linux distros install snmp as default but also is disabilited by default (you can check if it's running checking in the /etc/rc5.d (or /etc/rc3.d) directory or with chkconfig depending on what distro are you using )
