However I would *not* recommend replacing rocommunity public with rwcommunity public public is too well-known a community string to allow SET support. In fact, I'd suggest changing "private" to something else. Think of this as a password - you wouldn't allow the whole world to log into your machine and change/delete anything they wanted to. So why open up SNMP in this way? Security on SNMPv1 is not exactly strong at the best of times, but that's no reason to remove what little protection you do have!
