Sorry Kurt, I've actually never implemented SNMP before (I know, weird, huh?)
However, the logical part of my brain was screaming at me that it was a DUH! type of question...

Um, the only word that comes to mind here is "duh". Most implementations are still v1, which is completely plain text. Next most common, from my limited reading, are v2c and then v3 - and it's only with v3 that you get reasonable encryption, but staying away from the defaults is still the only way to go.
