44 Setup and Administration
To change the SNMP community name used for retrieving management information from a system
running Server Administrator, edit the SNMP agent configuration file, /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, and
perform the following steps:
1
Find the line that reads:
com2sec publicsec default public
or
com2sec notConfigUser default public
2
Edit this line, replacing public with the new SNMP community name. When edited, the new line
should read:
com2sec publicsec default community_name
or
com2sec notConfigUser default community_name
3 To enable SNMP configuration changes, restart the SNMP agent by typing:
service snmpd restart

/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf SNMP agent configuration file and perform the following steps:
1
Find the line that reads:
access publicgroup "" any noauth exact all none none
or
access notConfigGroup "" any noauth exact all none none
2
Edit this line, replacing the first none with all . When edited, the new line should read:
access publicgroup "" any noauth exact all all none
or
access notConfigGroup "" any noauth exact all all none
