For the snmpv2c example, use a community which is something more like

the sort of thing which should actually be used (a proper random string
rather than a common word, and especially not a common word that is the
default for much SNMP software). The example here is restricted to
127.0.0.1 but it's easy to adapt to something where it's more unsafe
so better not to give the example. ok martijn@
