Uninstall net-snmp Package

An XCCDF Rule

Description

The snmp package provides the snmpd service. The snmp package can be removed with the following command: 

$ apt-get remove snmp

Rationale

If there is no need to run SNMP server software, removing the package provides a safeguard against its activation.
