Just installed it. It appears to be working albeit its too verbose and full of itself, and rather quiet in terms of real details, I'd like it to attempt reverse lookups, which it isn't. But it does give me the ip address, and the direction packet went by at least. I also setup a logrotate.d entry for it, hopefuly that will work. And its still sending to the boxes real address. >I have been using it for years on both Windows and Linux. snmptraps >are os independent, where as syslog in typically unix only. > >You can also set the ip address to send it to, to be .255 and it >will nicely broadcast on your local subnet. > > Roger -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.
