snmpd.comm(SFF)                                              snmpd.comm(SFF)


 Name

    snmpd.comm - SNMP communities file

 Syntax

    /etc/snmpd.comm

 Description

    The file /etc/snmpd.comm contains the definitions for the communities
    which will be supported by the SNMP agent/server daemon, snmpd(ADMN).
    The file contains lines which consist of three items:  a session or com-
    munity name, an IP address in dot notation, and the privileges to be
    associated with that community and IP address pair.  The privileges
    should be one of READ, WRITE, or NONE.  NONE is used to lock out specific
    communities or hosts.  Lines which begin with ``#'' are ignored.

    The IP address ``0.0.0.0'' is used to denote a wild card, meaning any
    host.  Hence, it must be used with care.  As a safety precaution, never
    assign WRITE privileges to entries using a wild card IP address.
