The message you get means indeed that you have no <b>permission</b> to copy files into the /usr/share/snmp/mibs folder.<br />
<br />
There is a way to disable System Integrity Protection but that is not advised. Why do you need to copy a file to that location?

thanks for the response. &nbsp;i am working on a script which calls netsnmp. &nbsp;this script will be a network management tool for cisco devices. &nbsp;the mibs that come with the mac os do not include the cisco mibs, which is why i need to update. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
i understand your concern in writing to this file location, however i am not coming up with a good workaround.<br />
<br />
thanks!
