Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Strange behavior about "SNMP users Table" in wireshark 1.0.3

Hi,

What you see is the ASCII representation of some of the hexadecimal values 
you've put in, like \x65 == 'e'. So the passwords haven't been changed, there 
must be something else going on.

Thanx,
Jaap
