Hi,
in the database of xnmsnmpconf the correct communitystring is stored. When
I run a snmpwalk -d it uses this communitystring. With a demandpoll public
is the communtystring.

This is really weird. I have never seen this have a problem.
xnmsnmpconf has some options to dump the database. Do a man page on it,
and use the proper option to dump the database, grep for your subnet.
Make sure it is correct in the cache! Apparently it is not!
Another possiblity is that the subnet address is also matched by another
entry in your snmp configuration.
I guess you have run snmpwalk -d <address in subnet> system ? You can see
the community string in the debug output and verify it is not correct.
