Sorry, there's a couple different things I was alluding to here: 1. If an snmpTargetAddrTagList instance has the value "A B", for example, and you have snmpNotifyTable rows with snmpNotifyTag values "A" and "B", with "A" set to send traps and "B" set to send informs, then the target should receive both a trap and an inform for the same notification. [Why would you want to? I don't know. I think snmpNotifyTable was a mistake.] 2. There was a bug in get_target_sessions that I submitted a patch for. It was creating one session for each tag in snmpTargetAddrTagList, but then elsewhere expecting only one per snmpTargetAddrTable row (such as in cleanup, or building the linked list to be returned as the result). Consequently, the linked list could be corrupted, with stale sessions being kept around (maybe attached to the wrong target), etc. The result was extra notifications, and possibly notifications going to the wrong target(s), if you had any snmpTargetAddrTagList instances with multiple tags. -- Michael Kirkham President & CEO Muonics, Inc. http://www.muonics.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
