Re: MRTG, RT, WiKi,

By default they are public and private, you need to change  them to
something other than that, it's your choice.....   think of them as
passwords to access your snmp info.

Thanks so much. The community names change from default to what?

        For #2, yes you'd need snmp enabled on whatever you want to scan
and snmp "client" software installed on whatever the scanning machine
is.  The command "snmpwalk" is particularly helpful is seeing all the
data you can pull out of SNMP (it's ALOT).  You should be cautious to
properly secure SNMP by restricting what can query a target (especially
making sure that read-write is not enabled) and filtering it at the
firewall.  You should also change community names from the default.

        Hello All,
        
        I need to start working on the following projects and need some
help and pointers. 

        If you have worked on any of these and have some pointers,
not-to-dos and dos and
        any good papers on them, I would appreciate it, if you could
share your experience

        with me.
        
        1. After installing and configuring the Moin-Moin WiKi on w2k3,
I need to do LDAP integration to AD work.
        2.  I've installed the MRTG, but need help to configure and
begin to track down some network interfaces, do I need to use SNMP for
this?
        3) Helpdesk s/w, whether it's RT, or other s/w you can
recommend.
        
        
        Thanks in advance
        Ron
