Oops, that's a bug.

Edit the etc/tests.cfg file, find the "snmp_anyvar" definition (around
line 494), then add a line

	set community "public";

before the "init {" block (that's the default) and add a line

	instance import community;

within the init { block (that will make the snmpvar test accept
the community argument, like other snmp based tests).

Unless you also change "static set arguments ..." the
testers command will still be unaware of the community
option, but changing the community in uxmon-net like

    testbox community=whatever ... snmpvar

will work.

Best regards,
Tom
