	I don't know why you'd say this.  Almost anything which supports SNMP supports SNMPv1, and many don't support anything else.  SNMPv2c, on the other hand, is a well supported myth.  For read-only SNMP, a v1 community named "public" is the de facto standard.  You should not support community based writing unless the customer demands it, as it is insecure.

	In net-snmp, VACM works on communities as well as users.


	HTH,

Mike
