BB, SNMP, security

Hello,

I am using BB to monitor some honeypots as part of my
intrusion detection system. However, O'Reilly's
"Practical Unix & Internet Security" does not
recommend using SNMP as part of an intrusion detection
system or any security infrastructure system.
So I am wondering what the potential security issues
are regarding using BB and the use of SNMP, snmptrap
in particular.

I think one of the issue could be that by using
snmptrap, the intruder would be able to figure out the
BB server which I want to keep hidden in my case. Does
my problem make sense? I hope I am not
misunderstanding how BB works.

thanks,

Ashley.
