Matt -
A machine with an incorrect community name(one not
configured in your SNMP configuration file) is doing a
SNMP get or put to your box.
You can find out what it is by:
Editing your /etc/snmpd.conf file to enable logging
logging size 30K or so and level 3.
stopsrc -s snmpd.conf
startsrc -s snmpd.conf
When you see this message appear. Check the log files
in /usr/tmp called snmp*. you will see the incorrect
community name and the ip address of the machine
sending the request.
You can either change the community name on the box
sending the requests or add that box to your SNMP
configuration.
That was my problem anyway.
Hope this helps.
