sadly this is the first time I tried sending/receiving traps in a long time...so the access control feature was new to me...
one question: Is there a philosophical reason that no snmptrapd.conf file is installed or available with sample lines for the basic user (commented out where approp.)? also found some oddness (read bugs) when trying to send traps: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ snmptrap -d -v 1 -c public localhost "" "" 0 0 "" Sending 44 bytes to UDP: [127.0.0.1]:161 0000: 30 2A 02 01 00 04 06 70 75 62 6C 69 63 A4 1D 06 0*.....public... 0016: 08 2B 06 01 04 01 03 01 01 40 04 C0 A8 01 03 02 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 0032: 01 00 02 01 00 43 03 07 D3 19 30 00 .....C....0. read_config_store open failure on /var/net-snmp/snmpapp.conf read_config_store open failure on /var/net-snmp/snmpapp.conf read_config_store open failure on /var/net-snmp/snmpapp.conf note the default sending to port 161...also the odd complaints about /var/net-snmp/snmpapp.conf...I shouldnt have to be root to send a trap...do I? thanks for any comments, G ps. this is with release 5.4 on linux FC5 with default build and install ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
