That is really odd. I can't think of why a close call would not return. The only think I can think of would be to run strace on the agent, and look for operations on FD 2. When the agent daemonizes, it should close fd 2 and re-open it as /dev/null.

Actually, the man page doesn't specify to use quotes, so it's a syntax error in the conf file. Maybe someone could submit a patch to try and verify the existence of trap handlers at startup, so an error could be logged then, instead of waiting til the exec fails.

Looking at the code in snmptrapd.c, it is doing things differently than snmpd.c. You might want to try coping the code from snmpd.c and seeing if the problem persists.. -- Robert Story; NET-SNMP Junkie Support: <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. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
