Discussion

The snmpmibd daemon is a dpi2 sub-agent which manages a number of MIB variables. If snmpd is not required, it is recommended that it is disabled.

Check Content

From the command prompt, execute the following command: 
# grep "^start[[:blank:]]/usr/sbin/snmpmibd" /etc/rc.tcpip

If there is any output from the command, this is a finding.

Fix Text

In "/etc/rc.tcpip", comment out the "snmpmibd" entry by running command: 
# chrctcp -d snmpmibd
