First off , I'm posting this question here because it appears the SNMP mailing 
list is now defunct.  If this is the wrong list to post this please let me know 
and I'll repost it in the correct one.

First I'm running squid with snmp enabled on Centos 4.7.  the version of squid 
is the most recent offered for 4.7:  squid-2.5.STABLE14-4.el4.  this is my 
entire snmp configuration (with names and variables changed to protect the 
innocent ;-))
       acl chapmansnmp snmp_community publ!c
       snmp_port 3401
       snmp_access deny chapmansnmp  !chapman1
       
We are using Rapid7's NeXpose software for vulnerability testing.  What was 
discovered is that an snmpwalk done with anything used as the snmp community 
string and squid responds back.  I've also seen the same results from a Nessus 
scan (I believe Rapid7 software is based on Nessus but thought I'd try it 
anyway.  I've also seen similar results posted on the Internet).  I've tried 
modifying my community string to see if the special characters are causing the 
issue but that didn't fix it.  Here is an example of an snmpwalk done on one of 
our proxy servers:

(Note that the community string given is public.  That was not a valid 
community string on the box.  I tried all kinds of things and everything worked.

Any idea of a work around or a fix?  Is this something that has been fixed in a 
later version or is it scheduled to be fixed?

Thanks for your time.
