Not necessarily. SNMP traps are coming from all different kinds of
devices. I can't imagine wrong times would mess up snmptrpd. Are you
thinking that's what it's having a problem with?
Even if I try to just to a udp forward, with socat, iptables, or a
couple specific forwarding apps I tried, nothing seems to get to the apps.
I might just try restarting this server during the night. Maybe
something is just hosed.
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
James
