So before, you meant you failed test 31 of the "com2sec directive" suite?

Try "cd testing; SNMP_VERBOSE=2 ./RUNFULLTESTS -v -r T070com2sec" to get
more detail about why it failed.

Test 30 and 31 could fail if your DNS resolver performs "helpful" NXDOMAIN
remapping - e.g., does
> ping no.such.address.
return
ping: unknown host no.such.address.
or does it return something like
PING no.such.address (92.242.140.21) 56(84) bytes of data.

There's an assumption in the test suite that the DNS server is not insane,
but of course most home ISPs provide insane DNS servers by default.  Most
providers give you the option to use a sane one, or of course you could
change your /etc/resolv.conf to point to a sane public DNS provider.
