RE: Changing community strings automatically

It's fairly easy to programmatically rewrite the rwcommunity and
rocommunity strings in snmpd.conf, then restart the agent through the
normal init script mechanism.  This is how my project works.

 

I can't answer your question regarding SET requests since I haven't used
them myself.

Subject: Changing community strings automatically

 

I have a Net-SNMP agent running on a Linux computer. 

 

I want to write a script/program that automatically change the community
strings (I'm not interested in SNMPv3). 

 

Actually I know how to stop and restart the snmpd daemon. But how to
change the community strings? 

I know they are written in snmpd.conf file. Do you have any suggestions
how can I modify it changing the community strings? 

 

Is it possible to change the community strings through SNMP SET requests
(of course, knowing the old community strings)? 

 

Is it possible to pass the community strings as command line parameters
to snmpd, so I can change only the command line that starts the daemon?
