It appears to cough on the # at the start of my RW community string. read_config: /usr/share/snmp/snmpd.conf:56 examining: rocommunity Foo$Bar&Grill /usr/share/snmp/snmpd.conf: line 61: Error: Blank line following rwcommunity token. When the .conf looks like: # rocommunity: a SNMPv1/SNMPv2c read-only access community name # arguments: community [default|hostname|network/bits] [oid] rocommunity Foo$Bar&Grill # rwcommunity: a SNMPv1/SNMPv2c read-write access community name # arguments: community [default|hostname|network/bits] [oid] rwcommunity #<b>Hi!</b> It's not hard for me to validate that out of user input for my community strings so I'll do that for now. I don't suppose it's a huge limitation that you can't have '#' in configuration values but I'll write up a bug report anway.
