[Cialug] SNMPD on Linux

[David Champion]

Check what your rocommunity parameter is set to in the snmpd.conf. By 
default it may be set to "public", some people change that to something 
else to obscure it (although that shouldn't be mistaken for real 
security). If you do change that, do a search for "public" and make sure 
you change any other instances as well. Whatever that's set to, that's 
what your remote client will connect to.
