how to use snmp

[Paul Archer]

I can't give you any advice one way or the other on SNMP; however, you 
might want to look at the alternative of using ssh for monitoring. Setup a 
'nagios' user on the client with appropriate ssh keys on the server. Use 
forced commands in 'authorized_keys' for safety, and have the Nagios 
server log into the client to check what it needs to check.
It's probably no harder than setting up SNMP (much easier if you're not 
familiar with SNMP to begin with), and it's more secure.
