Thank you for the reply.
For access to audio or disk, we add user to group audio or floppy.
Is it possible to do the same thing by adding the user snmp to group netdev?
It is not an issue with group membership. Snmpd would have to either
root or have capability net_admin. It is not easy to setup a process to run
with additional capabilities; it requires setting up pam_cap, and setting
capability on executable.
[Assumption] If the network interfaces were managed like other devices
with a node in the folder "/dev". Will adding a user to a group would
address this type of problem?
I am often asked why the network interfaces were managed differently
from other devices, it is a historical convention or technical problems? :o)
Regards.
