I finally found my problem and I don't know if this is a bug, a feature or some sort of configuration error on my part. I decided to try running tcpdump when doing the snmptrap command and sure enough, nothing! For complete grins, to make sure tcpdump was working I went to a different system and did a ping. Worked fine so while there I decided to try snmptrap and lo and behold, I received it!
In other works remote traps are being received but local ones aren't. I gotta believe snmptrapd can receive local traps especially since all the examples in the FAQ show sending to 'localhost'. So does anyone have any idea why I can't receive local traps? -mark >-----Original Message----- >From: Seger, Mark >Sent: Friday, December 18, 2009 3:48 PM >To: Mike Ayers; [email protected] >Subject: RE: snmptrapd 101 > >> But you only authorized execution, not logging.
