[Snort-users] Snort and Cacti Error "SNMP missing community string attempt"

All,

Can any one tell me why I might be getting an "SNMP missing community str=
ing
attempt" from Snort?

I am running Cacti to gather and aggregate server statistics for me
(version 8.5). It utilizes SNMP to to this. I continually get the followi=
ng
error in my logs:

#36-(1-161609) [cve][icat][snort] SNMP missing community string at=
tempt =20
2004-06-15 12:01:08 192.168.1.5:33120 192.168.1.3:161

The source ip address is my Redhat Linux 9.0 machine with Cacti and Snort=
.. In
this case, it is polling a windows machine on my network. The destination=
can
change in the error depending on the server that is being polled. The com=
munity
name is configured on all devices and I get no errors in Cacti.

Here is part of the error message.

Payload length =3D 44

As you can see from this entry in the error message. My community name is
configured. Please help me, if you can.
