Birgit> (That figures, since I don't set the -e & -Z flags in snmpd.conf.) That's correct. Even if you're not using authentication or encryption you still need to add a user to the user database of both the software (agent) sending the notification as well as the receiver (trapd) Birgit> However, (as far as my knowledge goes for SNMPv3) when sending Birgit> traps in SNMPv3, the engine acts as an authoritative engine Birgit> and should therefor sends its own (!) authoritative engine ID, Birgit> engine boots and engine time, and not the synchronisation Birgit> parameters of the other party. That's true, the agent should be sending it's own engineid, boots and time assuming you're sending a trap and not an inform. Birgit> Unless my understanding and assumptions are incorrect, it seems that Birgit> the net-snmp behaviour is incorrect. Yes, I'd agree. Though the usefulness of the missing data is pretty much 0, but that doesn't excuse that it should be filling it in anyway. -- Wes Hardaker Sparta, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
