RE: SNMPD ignores community string in set/get requests

Hi Dave,
Thanks for your detailed answer, I see the point. I tried -I kuku,vacm_vars but I didn't work, still no authentication check.
But I'm using now -I -ifTable:ifXTable:system_mib and it works for me fine.

Thanks again,
Dudi.

If you give the option  -I{tokens}
then you are telling the agent to initialise these modules
  (and these modules only)

If you give the option  -I-{tokens}
then you are telling the agent to initialise everything *except* these modules

In the second case  (which is what you seemed you be using earlier),
anything that isn't explicitly mentioned will be left active.  In particular,
the access control code will be included unless you explicitly turn it off.

  But with the first approach,  the access control code will only be
activated if you explicitly include it in the list of modules to initialise.
Try
    /usr/sbin/snmpd -T 120 -Ln -I kuku,vacm_vars
