Actually, now I wonder if jffnms really does require numeric OIDs. If I
set snmptrapd to translate trap OIDs to mib-speak, jffnms accepts the
traps and puts 'em into the db just fine. What I haven't tried is using
the mibified trap names in the SNMP Trap Receiver OID field. If jffnms
is just using that field to hold the text of the OID and doing a text
comparison between that field and the OID passed from snmptrapd, it just
might work. I'll give it a shot.

Thanks for spelling this out for me. Between this and the updated docs,
I now have alerts triggering on traps. Now to see about a receiver
command to parse the varbinds and pass them along.

Thanks again!
