in thread Net::SNMP get_request() caching results?

On a side note, in looking at this utility, it looks pretty cool except that SNMP v3 still isnt completely baked into Net::SNMP and therefore using your utility with SNMP v1 or SNMP v2 would be *very* hazardous, as read/write community strings would be passed in plain-text over the network.

    yeah, you're right on about that. RW strings can post a threat in an unsecured network. luckily cisco provides some pretty good methods for locking down snmp access to its devices to allow access to only certain nodes.
