You can put them in other files, yes, but in the end those other files would need to be protected so they're read-write only by root obviously. You can set the SNMPCONFPATH to include any number of directories you want for searching for files. There is no way currently to encrypt the file, though (and if there were, it'd obviously require a password at the time the master-agent is rebooted as well). -- Wes Hardaker Cobham Analytic Solutions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Net-snmp-users mailing list [email protected] Please see the following page to unsubscribe or change other options: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/net-snmp-users
