Whoa... are you saying that the windows management stations is receiving traps
from a 5.2 agent? Are you sure you aren't using 5.1.2? Because there is an
outstanding bug in 5.2 that traps to non local address don't work. I know that
Linux and FreeBSD are broken... though I suppose it's possible that solaris is
less restrictive about sending packets..

Grab 5.2.1.rc1 tomorrow, and add this to your snmpd.conf before the trapsink
lines:
[snmp] clientAddr 10.0.0.1
where 10.0.0.1 is the address you want as the source address. Of course, this
will affect *all* packets from the agent. If you only want to affect traps,
then you'd have to hack up the source..
