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