I enabled snmp on user.skolelinux.no and maintainer.skolelinux.no, to
be able to monitor the system load using MRTG from
developer.skolelinux.no.

I modified the default configuration to allow read access to the
complete three from developer.s.n, maintainer.s.n and user.s.n, and
only read access to the system three for the rest.

The resulting stats are available from
<URL:http://developer.skolelinux.no/mrtg/>.

Here is the recipe for the SNMP config:

 - Install snmpd (apt-get install snmpd)

 - Create /etc/snmp/snmpd.local.conf with  this content:

      #
      # Local snmpd config for user.skolelinux.no
      #
      syslocation     Machineroom, USIT
      syscontact      Skolelinux Admins <drift&#64;skolelinux&#46;no>

      # Give selected hosts full read access, and all hosts read access to
      # the system tree.
      com2sec readonly  localhost       public
      com2sec readonly  user.skolelinux.no public
      com2sec readonly  maintainer.skolelinux.no public
      com2sec readonly  developer.skolelinux.no public
      com2sec paranoid  default         public

 - Modify /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf like this:

      --- snmpd.conf.orig     Sun Jun 20 23:47:38 2004
      +++ snmpd.conf  Sun Jun 20 23:48:50 2004
      &#64;&#64; -46,7 +46,7 &#64;&#64;
      
       #       sec.name  source          community
       #com2sec paranoid  default         public
      -com2sec readonly  default         public
      +#com2sec readonly  default         public
       #com2sec readwrite default         private
