@ symbol in snmp community

Hi everyone,

I looked in the archive for other reports of this problem,
but found
none.

Suppose you have a host 1.2.3.4, with the snmp community
'password'.
Cfgmaker will generate a mrtg.conf containing the string

password1.2.3.4

and mrtg will run properly.

However, is the community is 'Pssw0rd', the config file
contains

Pssw0rd1.2.3.4

And mrtg complains that it can't resolve the host
"ssw0rd"


I tried a manual edit to P\ssw0rd1.2.3.4
to no avail, then decided it
was easier to change the community on the router than to
adjust the mrtg
perl script, so sadly I have no code to contribute, I can
only point out
the problem.
