Discussion

The snmpd.conf file contains authenticators and must be protected from unauthorized access and modification.

Check Content

Check the permissions of the SNMP configuration file.

Procedure:
Examine the default install location /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
or:
# find / -name snmpd.conf 

# ls -lL <snmpd.conf>

If the permissions include a '+', the file has an extended ACL. If the file has an extended ACL and it has not been documented with the IAO, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Remove the extended ACL from the file.
# setfacl --remove-all <snmpd.conf file>
