Hello Tivoleers(?),
     Running AIX 4.3.2 NV 5.1.1 (We're in the process of upgrading to 4.3.3
and 6.0.1)

     I am receiving the following message in my trapd.log and am curious
about 2 things.

982089155  7  Tue Feb 13 18:32:35 2001 <none> T WARNING: invalid SNMP Trap
packet from agent 10.116.1.254 source A pid -1

1.  What constitutes an Invalid SNMP Trap packet?  I know about lack of
formatting in the trapd.conf but have never seen this particular fault
before, and can't find anything in the NetView Administrators Guide, Users
Guide or any other Tivoli document.

2.  Our name resolution is performed entirely in /etc/hosts.  The IP address
given for the device sending the invalid trap is defined in my /etc/hosts
file.  So why does it show up as an IP address and not a hostname?

TIA,
Bill
Bank of America
