Re: community name with special characters

[ashok k. <ash...@gm...>]

Hello Harish,

It is me (Ashok) who reported this issue (community name is not working with
special characters).

How did I verified:

1. I added two entries snmpd.conf as below:
     rwcommunity ashok123
     rwcommunity ashok$123

2. I executed the snmpd and tried the following things:
     [ashok@localhost commands]$ snmpget -v2c -c ashok123 localhost
1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0
     DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (52765) 0:08:47.65
     [ashok@localhost commands]$

     [ashok@localhost commands]$ snmpget -v2c -c ashok$123 localhost
1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0
     Timeout: No Response from localhost.
     [ashok@localhost commands]$

I get a response with community "ashok123" but not with "ashok$123"

Regards,
Ashok
