Hi,
you can also change the name of DBSNMP i.e. it doesn't need to be called
DBSNMP, well you can create a new user and drop DBSNMP. If you do you
need to add a new line to the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/snmp_rw.ora
file - you should also set a password in the same file. So adding two
lines as follows:
snmp_connect.{service name}.name={new name}
snmp_connect.{service name}.password={password}
The first time the inteligent agent runs it encrypts the password - this
is 9i and above, in 8i you need to secure the file as the password
remains in clear text. You should secure the file anyway in 9i so that
only the owner of the oracle software can access it.
TRACESVR is the user needed for oracle trace. You can remove oracle
trace (otrace) if you are not using it by deleting the
$ORACLE_HOME/otrace/admin files process.dat, collect.dat and regid.dat.
Metalink note 1020763.6 describes removing otrace.
hth
kind regards
Pete
