SNMPTrapd

[henryjesus]

Previous version of Fedora uses snmptrapd by defaults , no configuration needed , by the time I upgraded to FC6 , it would spit out the following errors :

snmptrapd[23273]: Warning: no access control information configured. This receiver will *NOT* accept any
incoming notifications.


and another one

snmptrapd[16932]: No access configuration - dropping trap.

any ideas ?

Check out the man page for snmptrapd.conf

man snmptrapd.conf

At the top it says:

Previously, snmptrapd would accept all incoming notifications, and log them automatically (even if no explicit configuration was provided). Starting with release 5.3, access control checks will be applied to incoming notifications. If snmptrapd is run without a suitable configuration file (or equivalent access control settings), then such traps WILL NOT be processed. See the section ACCESS CONTROL for more details.

The option you are probably interested in can be found at the bootom of the "ACCESS CONTROL" section. It says:

disableAuthorization yes
will disable the above access control checks, and revert to the previous behaviour of accepting all incoming notifications.

If you add

disableAuthorization yes

to /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf you should be happy. If this file does not exist, create it, then restart snmptrapd. It does appear that snmptrapd.conf may alternately be found in /usr/share/snmp, but I have not put it there in any of my configurations.
