If SNMP is not required on AIX, the snmpmibd daemon must be disabled.

The snmpmibd daemon is a dpi2 sub-agent which manages a number of MIB variables. If snmpd is not required, it is recommended that it is disabled.

From the command prompt, execute the following command: # grep "^start[[:blank:]]/usr/sbin/snmpmibd" /etc/rc.tcpip

If there is any output from the command, this is a finding.

In "/etc/rc.tcpip", comment out the "snmpmibd" entry by running command: # chrctcp -d snmpmibd
