Nagios Alternative?

[Michael Halligan]

My POV (I'm not an snmp) is that if your network is firewalled, you
change your community string to something not "Public", use snmpv3 with
it's security features, and are only using it for polling read-only
Information, then you're pretty safe.

Security is a process, not a set of patches.

Aren't there some security issues with SNMP? I remember reading
somewhere that is was pretty difficult to secure... (just curious, I
don't know much snmp and I'm not trying to start a fight) :) Thanks,

Lloyd
