Hello
In snmpd.conf man page, in "monitor" option,
I would like to see following information.
Original: NAME is an administrative name for this expression, and is
Original: used for indexing the mteTriggerTable (and related tables).
Add: NAME should not be duplicated in snmpd.conf.
Background
My colleague accidentally configure 2 lines of "monitor" settings
with exactly same NAME and saw "duplicated trigger name"
messages.
I think one line of additional information will help someone in the future.
Thanks for having reported this. How about addressing this with the
patch below?

SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c). See the \fIiquerySecName\fP token described above.
