I noticed that there is an SNMP server which can be turned on but I currently had it disabled because I do not know what it is for.

Is this something crucial or I can live without it ?

Thanks

You can, and should, live without it.

SNMP is exploitable.

Use MRTG to monitor your RaQ, instead.

An MRTG installing HOWTO (cobalt specific would be very welcome !!)

Thanks. It is permanently off. And now about the MRTG thingy, yup, if there is any cobalt specific method of installing it, I would be grateful. if there is a PKG file, it would be even better.
