snmpxdmid: Error in adding row for subscription Table Entry




snmpxdmid: Error in adding row for subscription Table Entry

Solution :-


This is solaris 9 problem. The snmpdx startup scripts are in /etc/rc3.d

  If you are not using SNMP to monitor the system, disable them.  Particularly if you are not having completely up to date on security  patches for snmpdx, mibiisa, and worse, the snmpXdmid.  There
  are buffer overflow and other exploits in unpatched or  poorly configured daemons.

  If you are running snmp, you still don't need the snmpXdmid,  as that is a management interface that just happens to be  bundled in the free solstice enterprise agent and runs as  a sub agent under the snmpdx daemon.

Disable it...

   cd /etc/rc3.d
   ./S76snmpdx stop
   ./S77dmi stop
   mv S76snmpdx s76snmpdx_safe
   mv S77dmi s77dmi_safe

  1. changing the names to append "_safe" will still try and start the daemons. I prepended them with '_' and that prevented them from starting.
