Dear all, I'm running NET-SNMP version 5.3.0.1 on Linux RedHat 7.2.
I'm listening for authentication failure traps, generated by your engine. *** snmpd.conf: authtrapenable 1 trapsess -v 3 -l noAuthNoPriv -u noAuthUser <host>:162 I receive the PDU fine, but I noticed that the trap doesn't have the correct authoritative engine ID, engine boots and engine time; - authoritative engine ID: null (or empty), - engine boots: 0, - engine time: 0 As far as I can work out from the snmpd.log, it seems that your engine tries to find the usm details for user 'noAuthUser' and fails. (That figures, since I don't set the -e & -Z flags in snmpd.conf.) *** snmpd.log: trace: usm_get_user(): snmpusm.c, 2982: usm: getting user noAuthUser trace: usm_get_user_from_list(): snmpusm.c, 2998: usm: match on user noAuthUser trace: usm_get_user_from_list(): snmpusm.c, 3004: usm: no match on engineID () trace: usm_rgenerate_out_msg(): snmpusm.c, 1470: usm: Failed to find engine data. However, (as far as my knowledge goes for SNMPv3) when sending traps in SNMPv3, the engine acts as an authoritative engine and should therefor sends its own (!) authoritative engine ID, engine boots and engine time, and not the synchronisation parameters of the other party. Unless my understanding and assumptions are incorrect, it seems that the net-snmp behaviour is incorrect. Would you be so kind to confirm my understanding or explain why I'm wrong?
