      I am not aware that the # character (ASCII 35) is on the invalid character list for snmp.
      All my other devices and software have no issue with my read community string containing the # character.
      In pfsense 2.0-BETA5 (amd64) built on Sat Jan 8 00:47:04 EST 2011

      I get the following error:

      The following input errors were detected:
          * Invalid character '#' in read community string

      Blessings,

        There is a side effect with bsnmp config file.

        See http://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/956

          Thanks Pierre,

          I guess I will have to change my community string.

          Blessings,
