I'm not going to make a great fuss about this issue.

I introduced a second directive because I didn't think
that "disableAuthorization" was particularly meaningful
to a typical network administrator - it's much more of
a security-orientated description.   But it didn't feel
my place to *remove* Wes' original choice - hence adding
a parallel alternative.

Traps and Notifications are sufficiently widely used
that they're effectively interchangeable in normal
conversation.  (In much the same way as MIB objects
and MIB instances).   So I don't think we'd be gaining
much by insisting on using the strictly correct term.
And I personally prefer the shorter name - which is
also more consistent with the other snmptrapd directives.
(Note that linkUpDownNotifications is an *agent* thing).


But I'm not too bothered either way.

I'll see what the general consensus is tomorrow, and
document things based on that.

Dave
