Uninstall net-snmp Package

An XCCDF Rule

Description

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

$ sudo zypper remove net-snmp

Rationale

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