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.

Subject: [SECURITY] MRTG, RT, WiKi,


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
