Hallo Robert!

Thanks for your help. Now I understood the different between
both but what happens, when both options are standing in the
snmpd.conf? 

Is "com2sec" able to forbidd access when "rocommunity" allows it?

That's my problem. 

Sincerely
Holger Thomaschewski

rocommunity is much simpler to configure, but isn't as flexible. If you want to
provide access to the whole agent, or one certain branch, then rocommunity is
the way to go.

If you want to do complex access control, like allowing access or restricting
access to multiple different branches for the same community string, then you
have to use com2sec, view, access and group tokens in concert.

You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different.
