I've no idea. Wes is the security expert, not me :-) In general, unless you *know* that you need to set the engineID explicitly, then you probably don't (and shouldn't bother). > In man page, it states that we can set > "engineID STRING" in snmpd.conf. Which snmpd.conf, > persistent one or regular one? Ummm.. not sure, without checking the code. My gut reaction is probably to use "engineID" in the normal snmpd.conf file (to force a particular engineID every time), or tweak the "oldEngineId" entry in the persistent snmpd.conf (which is how this value is normally passed from one invocation to the next). But that's very much a guess - such it and see. Or simply don't bother at all. Your choice.
