The only way to prevent unwanted setting is by configuring a bogus
set community in xnmsnmpconf. Those who are authorized to use the
mib browser can supply the correct community in the dialog. If you use
a lot of different ones, this is a nuisance, but that is after all the
purpose
of community strings. Netview does not need the write community to
do its usual job.

Cordially,

No there is not.  All those menus are hard-coded and internal to the events
application.

Subject:  [NV-L] MIB browser in Control Desk, can it be removed?




Hello list,
Running NV 5.1.2

For some users we have removed the MIB browser from the Tools menu in the
ovw window, because we don't want them to set
MIB variables.
However they still can do it via the "backdoor" of the Events list window.
There are at least two menus here which gives access to the MIB browser.
The
first one is View->Cards and the second is Options->Additional Actions.
Is there a way to disable(remove) the MIB browser from those menu's?

Any help will be appreciated.
