Hi,

I have found that the MLM version of snmptrap is not displaying its events
in the Netview control desk, but the Netview version does.  Both versions
make their way to trapd.log on the Netview system.  I have tried multiple
trap formats and log only is NOT turned on.  Here is the syntax I am using:

MLM Version of snmptrap:

snmptrap 32.83.65.193 "" .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.41.2  usrdfwc000 6 1 0 0
octetstring "Test Switch Trap"
trapd output:
988327939  3  Thu Apr 26 19:32:19 2001 usrdfwc000                A Switch
usrdfw
c000 sends clogMessageGenerated trap.  FMT ERROR: accessing element #4,
only 1 a
vailable

AIX version of smnptrap:

snmptrap 32.83.65.193 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.41.2 usrdfwc000 6 1 0 0
octetStringAscii "Test Switch Trap"
trapd output:
988327748  3  Thu Apr 26 19:29:08 2001 usrdfwc000                A Switch
usrdfw
c000 sends clogMessageGenerated trap.  FMT ERROR: accessing element #4,
only 1 a
vailable

trapd.conf output of the trap:
clogMessageGenerated {1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.41.2} 6 1 A 3 0 "Status Events"
Switch $A sends clogMessageGenerated trap.  $4
EVENT_CLASS Nvserverd_Event
BEGIN_SLOT_MAPPING
 severity CRITICAL
END_SLOT_MAPPING
SDESC
When a syslog message is generated by the device, a
clogMessageGenerated notification is sent.  The sending of these
notifications can be enabled/disabled via the clogNotificationsEnabled
object.
EDESC

On AIX, the mlm version is located in /usr/lpp/smmlm/original/.  This
version is much easier to move to a non-Netview or MLM machine and run the
executable in a script.  Disregard the FMT error, I know I didn't put a
var4 in the snmptrap syntax.

Is this an a bug in the MLM version of snmptrap or am I missing something
in the syntax or configuration ??

Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance on your response !

AIX 4.3.3
Netview 6.0.2
MLM 5.0.6
