nmap script feature

["Youngquist, Jason R." <jryoungquist () ccis edu>]

Has anyone played around with the nmap script feature?  I've downloaded the latest nmap (on a Windows box) an am trying 
to use it to scan for snmp strings from a text file.  I know I could use other snmp scanners, but I want to be able to 
use nmap to easily scan multiple subnets and multiple hosts from a text file.

This is the test command I'm trying to get to work:
nmap --script snmp-brute --script-args snmplist=tryme.txt 10.x.x.x

Nmap runs, and discovers open ports, but it doesn't find that the host has snmp open with the string "public" (which is 
listed in tryme.txt). I've verified that this host has "public" snmp open with another software program.


Here are the docs that I've been using as reference.
