Discussion

The snmpd.conf file contains authenticators and must be protected from unauthorized access and modification. If the file is not group-owned by a system group, it may be subject to access and modification from unauthorized users.

Check Content

Check the group ownership 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 file is not group-owned by root, bin, sys, or system, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Change the group ownership of the SNMP configuration file.

Procedure:
# chgrp root <snmpd.conf>
