HOST-RESOURCES-MIB and internal information

[Oliver Graute]

Hello,

I noticed during a snmpwalk that my embedded device provide a lot of
internal information in the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB that I would prefer to
keep secret.

For example the Host Resources provides some Informations about process
pathes, process ids, memory consumption etc. For Debugging thats all
fine and nice to have, but I wish to hide these deep informations for
real production environments.

Is it necesseary to disable the hole HOST-RESOURCES-MIB for that? where
I have to do that?

I'am using net-snmp 5.7.3

Best regards,

Oliver

You also could define a VIEW to restrict the access to that information.
