[SNMP4J] Security Issue? - Some clients work, some don't

Hi ..

You are using "private" as community in the SNMP message that returned 
an error status 16,
but you did not configured "private" to be a valid community for the 
readView.
When you use "public" it works, because "public" is configured to be a 
valid community
for the readView.

It would have been nice to post here with your real name and it would have
been nice to mention that you varied the community string when sending the
packets.

Best regards,
Frank
