Wes answered the first part, and the second part should be obvious. The file should only be writable by root. Whether or not it's readable by all is up to you. If you want your community string setup or other info private, then don't allow group/world access. Safest: root:root 600 Safe: root:wheel 660 (using wheel to allow sudo access to file) Mostly safe: root:root 644 Bad idea: root:root 666 -- Robert Story; NET-SNMP Junkie <http://www.net-snmp.org/> <irc://irc.freenode.net/#net-snmp> Archive: <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=net-snmp-users> You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the new InstallShield X. >From Windows to Linux, servers to mobile, InstallShield X is the one installation-authoring solution that does it all.
