community-string:public?

[reinstalled]

Hi all,

Have a client that uses a Network managment too and
has found that an smtp setting of community-string: Public
is unacceptable. Where is this setting?

I've looked in sendmail.cf but cannot find it.

Thanks

I have had a quick look at some of our Sun Systems, but cannot find the string "community-string" in any of the the /etc .conf files. It might help if could say what the Metwork Management Tool is and what version of Solaris you are using.
However, try this for locating text in a file that you cannot remember the name of:

for file in `find <path> -type f`
do
grep -l "<text>" $file
done

which will produce a list of filenames containing "<text>".

I hope that helps.

Mike

You're confusing smtp with snmp.

I'm guessing your snmp read-community string is "public". This enables utilities (and users) to perform snmp queries against your system and get all sorts of useful information.

/etc/snmp/conf/snmpd.conf

Personally, I'd disable snmp if you aren't using it.

Thanks All.

I would also disable SNMP the version that comes with Solaris sucks anyway in my opinion. There are a couple of scripts in /etc/rc3.d I believe S76snmpdx and S77dmi or something like that.
