RE: COPS vs. SNMP

["Durham, David" <david.durham@intel.com>]

I'm interested in what the industry adoption of SNMPConf is/will be.
Particularly given that CERT is already advising that administrators TURN
SNMP OFF! Eg. SNMP is currently undergoing a maelstrom of CERT advisories
and other bad press due to its
troubling susceptibilities. Now just imagine allowing people to actually
download viruses and worms via SNMPConf PM MIB's Scripts.
