Hi, What i want to say is when i do get on the sysDescr with the community name empty or wrong name (This name is not present in the snmpd.conf) snmpd is responding for this get request with correct value. Please correct me if i am wrong i thought that if any request comes snmpd compares the community name in the request with the community name in the snmpd.conf if the name matches request is processed else the request is returned with error message.
It sounds like you may be editing the wrong snmpd.conf file. To see where snmpd is looking for snmpd.conf, use:
snmpd -Dread_config -H 2>&1 | grep "config path" | sort -u
It may be loading multiple snmpd.conf files which is defining multiple community names. Maybe you have public defined as a ro community name and your application is defaulting to that when you leave it blank on the client app?
