Hi, I was fighting with this myself, did you add a createUser line to the snmptrapd.conf file in /var/net-snmp?
This will send a coldstart-inform to snmptrapd on localhost with an uptime of 42 timeticks: snmpinform -v 3 -u testuser -a MD5 -A password -x DES -X ppassword -l authPriv localhost 42 coldStart.0 To make snmptrapd receive this inform you have to add this to /var/net-snmp/snmptrapd.conf before starting it: createUser testuser MD5 password DES ppassword If you are not using privacy just cut out the -x and -X options as well as DES ppassword and use -l authNoPriv. As for sending V3 Traps/Informs from an agent I used code from the snmptrap-utility in my case because I did not find any API functions like send_v2_trap. But I am using an old ucd-snmp 4.2.5 package for my agent, maybe there is something in newer Versions. greetings Wolfgang > -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- > Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Auftrag von > madanagopal > Gesendet: Montag, 05.
