I have seen a number of people posted the same question I am about to
ask. I have yet to see a solution. Here are the symptoms:

On Solaris 8 V240.
When /etc/snmp/conf/snmpd.conf says:
system-group-read-community public
read-community public

Everything works.

When I change it to:
system-group-read-community pUbLiC
read-community pUbLiC

My console and /var/adm/messages fill with messages like the
following:

Jun 30 12:44:41 [hostname] /usr/lib/snmp/snmpdx: [ID 702911
daemon.error]
community_check();bad community from localhost
Jun 30 12:44:41 [hostname] /usr/lib/snmp/snmpdx: [ID 702911
daemon.error]
session_open() failed for a pdu received from localhost.32772
Jun 30 12:44:41 [hostname] /usr/lib/snmp/snmpdx: [ID 702911
daemon.error]
community_check();bad community from localhost
Jun 30 12:44:41 [hostname] /usr/lib/snmp/snmpdx: [ID 702911
daemon.error]
session_open() failed for a pdu received from localhost.32772
Jun 30 12:44:41 [hostname] /usr/lib/snmp/snmpdx: [ID 702911
daemon.error]
community_check();bad community from localhost
Jun 30 12:44:41 [hostname] /usr/lib/snmp/snmpdx: [ID 702911
daemon.error]

Others have pointed out that the box can be pinged but they can not
remote to the box. This is consistent with what I have seen. I can
recover with a boot into single user mode and change pUbLiC back to
public but I would like to change my community string. There are no
extra TABS or Spaces that I can see. Any ideas would be welcomed?

I have not had any activity on this thread. Can one of you UNIX snmp
masters give me a hand with this issue?

This is what I found. Sun patch page for patch 108869-23 but the
problem with this new discovery is that I already had this patch.
(from 108869-23)

4889976 mibiisa unable to send traps to snmpdx
4935739 snmpdx receives the traps with community string "public"
4940928 mibiisa uses enterprise OID as 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.1.1
4958796 system services OID is not correct
4959348 master agent doesn't recognize other than "public" in the
snmpd.conf
