Q.
How do I disable SNMP on my NetWare server?

Dear Cid: The module SNMP.NLM is referenced by various other protocol NLMs and you can't unload it to completely disable SNMP. However, you can deny SNMP access by loading INETCFG.NLM and selecting: Manage Configuration > Configure SNMP Parameters.
Now for both the "Monitor" and "Control" options, select the option "No Community my Read/Write." Note that this will only be active after your next server reboot. To also activate the new SNMP settings without reboot, execute the following console command:
SNMP MONITORCOMMUNITY CONTROLCOMMUNITY
