The communityname.conf file is only used during the
initial discovery of the object.  Netview will try all
of the community string listed, and once a string
works it will put the Node Name and Community string
in the OVSNMP.conf.  You may have to modify this file
manually, or you can delete the objects Netview
couldn't recognize via SNMP and rediscover them.
