Initial Comment:
Hi there,
I'm having some issues with release v1.4.16 when using check_snmp with -C arg.

See above:
- In check_snmp (nagios-plugins 1.4.16) v1.4.16:
# ./check_snmp -C border -H 10.10.0.6 -o iso.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.9.3 -v 
/usr/bin/snmpget -t 1 -r 5 -m ALL -v 1 [authpriv] 10.10.0.6:161 iso.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.9.3
(Service Check Timed Out) 

- In check_snmp (nagios-plugins 1.3.1) v1.24.2.2:
# ./check_snmp -C border -H 10.10.0.6 -o iso.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.9.3 -v
/usr/bin/snmpget -t 1 -r 9 -m ALL -v 1 -c border 10.10.0.6:161  iso.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.9.3
RFC1213-MIB::ifLastChange.3 = Timeticks: (362154105) 41 days, 21:59:01.05
SNMP OK - Timeticks: (362154105) 41 days, 21:59:01.05

It seems that the -C (--community too) argument was not treated.

I can *not* confirm that this is a general problem with this plugin version

[root at nagios ~]# nagios-plugins-1.4.16/plugins/check_snmp -C wrong -H

/usr/bin/snmpget -t 1 -r 5 -m ALL -v 1 [authpriv] $TARGET:161 sysUpTime.0
External command error: Timeout: No Response from $TARGET:161.

The community being hidden in the command line (as "ps" sees it) is a
safety mechanism of snmpget itself:

[root at nagios ~]# nagios-plugins-1.4.16/plugins/check_snmp -C wrong -H
$TARGET -o sysUpTime.0 -v &
[...]
[root at nagios ~]# ps auwwwwx | grep snmpget

You might want to rerun the tests with numeric-only OIDs, to make sure that
the timeout isn't due to the MIB file parsing.

After read the source I saw the verbose message above only show some args.

Full command above (through pid info):
/usr/bin/snmpget -t 1 -r 5 -m ALL -v 1 -c        200.196.193.25:161
