Of course, this assumes that you have permission to read all
those object instances.  :-)  But this all begs the question of why
someone would still want to use community strings at all.  With
heightened concerns about security these days, wouldn't use of
SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c be considered negligent, and a possible
legal liability?
