Now I am using 5.3.1 and getting the following error when I configure trapsess (found in /var/log/message):
Snmpd[pid]: snmpd: send_trap: USM unknown security name (no such user exists) This is strange because on the line above the trapsess entry in /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf I declare the user as a rwuser snmproot! Is there some other configuration file that I need to tell about the users that I will use in trapsess from the snmpd agent?

Would you expect with that version that the following trapsess will use the authoritative engineID of the currently running snmpd process when sending traps to <target-manager>? trapsess -v 3 -u snmproot -a MD5 -A <rootAuthPass> -l authPriv -x DES -X <rootPrivPass> <target-manager> Josh -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Shield Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2008 3:09 PM To: Josh Bers Cc: net-snmp-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: sending V3 traps with trapsess On 02/04/2008, Josh Bers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am seeing strange behavior when configuring snmpd to send traps using > trapsess command in the snmpd.conf file. > > When I don't specify an engineID explicitly it attempts to do discovery even > though I am not asking for INFORMS! > I am using version 5.1.2. Does anyone know if this has been fixed > on later versions? I've just tried this with both the current development code, and the 5.2.x line. In both cases, the agent sends the trap immediately, with no engine probe. I don't have a 5.1.x version immediately accessible, but I seem to remember something being added a while back to delay the engine probe for an SNMPv3 session until it was actually needed. So I suspect that this problem has indeed been fixed in later releases. Please note that the 5.1.x line was closed down about two years ago. We would *strongly* recommend that you upgrade to a more recent version. Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
