You should probably be comparing to the actual 5.1.2 release, instead of rc1. Either way, you should be able to find the difference. I seem to recall one release/pre-release not properly setting the default port for traps. That might be the problem...

Not presently, but there are two interesting idea there. One (sending to multiple ip addresses from the command line) has been brought up before. The other, using a conf file, is new. I'm not sure that reading snmpd.conf would be a good idea, but reading a snmptrap.conf that specifies trap destinations is an interesting idea. You might wnat to submit those as feature requests (or code them up and submit a patch).

If you have the current values, you can specify them on the command line. If you are asking if it can query the agent for the values, it doesn't do that (and it wouldn't be a good idea anyway).

Check out agent/mibgroup/examples/notification.c for an example of adding varbinds to a trap. -- Robert Story; NET-SNMP Junkie <http://www.net-snmp.org/> <irc://irc.freenode.net/#net-snmp> Archive: <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=net-snmp-users> You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
