(PM) SNMP

Hi,
I had noticed some messages on the Portmasster3 console before like this:
SNMP: Bad Community - public
SNMP: Bad Community - public
It had me mildly interested in who or what was trying to read SNMP info
from my Portmasters. So I decided to find out. I made a little
filter to ptrace it:
1 permit 0.0.0.0/0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/32 udp dst eq 161

Now I can see my SNMP monitoring stuff querying the PM every so often,
but now and again I get the "bad community" message come up with no
ptrace info within 3 minutes either side of it.

What am I missing?

John
