>Description:
              There currently is no way to disabled read/write community in bsnmpd. The default for bsnmpd is a hard coded public for both read and write community strings. There needs to be a way to set the write (and possibly read ) string to NULL or something along those lines, to disabe snmp write support.
>How-To-Repeat:
              N/A
>Fix:
              two options, set write and read string to something and tell no on (NO ONE I SAY!). Option 2, disable snmp read/write strings via a code change. Edit contrib/bsnmp/snmpd/main.c, you should see something like..

	(void)comm_define(1, "SNMP read", NULL, "public");
	(void)comm_define(2, "SNMP write", NULL, "public");

change both "public"s to NULL. (no quote marks).

then rebuild bnmpd.

# stop bsnmpd first.

cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/bsnmpd
make obj
make depend
make
make install

# restart bsnmpd
