How to turn off SNMP & change the default credential - Newbie question

I have a Solaris 8 server and a small cyclade running linux. There's
no "snmp" processes running at either server. We are getting report
that the SNMP is set to default credential. Any idea how we can disble
the SNMP entirely and/or change the credentials to non-default ?

Thanks,

Bill,

Look at /etc/snmp.conf and its associated man page at snmp.conf to
define community strings that are other than the default of private
and public.
