 Name

    snmpd.peers  - SMUX peers file

 Description

    The file /etc/snmpd.peers contains information which the SNMP
    agent/server daemon, snmpd(ADMN), uses to authenticate requests from SMUX
    peers to register subtrees with the SNMP agent/server.  The file contains
    lines which consist of four items, one of which is optional:

    name      of SMUX peer.

    object-id in dot notation that represents object-identifier of the SMUX
              peer.

    password  in unencrypted form which snmpd compares with the password
              received in the open request PDU from the SMUX peer.  As the
              passwords are not encrypted, this file must be in protected
              mode ``0600'' and owned by ``root.''

    priority  optional priority value that snmpd uses to determine which SMUX
              peer to consult when more than one peer registers the same sub-
              tree. Legal values are 0 to (2^31)-1, with a lower number
              having a higher priority.  A ``-1'' can also be used to
              represent the highest priority.

    The syntax of the lines in the file is as shown below. Each token is
    separated by white space, though double quotes may be used to prevent
    separation. Lines which begin with ``#'' are ignored.

       <name>  <object-id>     <password>      [<priority>]
