Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Accounts for dbsnmp and tracesvr
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.

kind regards
