Yup.

prIndex.7 = INTEGER: 7
prNames.7 = STRING: sleep
prMin.7 = INTEGER: 1
prMax.7 = INTEGER: 1
prCount.7 = INTEGER: 0
prErrorFlag.7 = INTEGER: 1
prErrMessage.7 = STRING: Too few sleep running (# = 0)
prErrFix.7 = INTEGER: 0
prErrFixCmd.7 = STRING:

5.1.1 for Solaris 8 sparc -- specifically the binary package from
sunfreeware.

BTW, I'm running a sniffer to pickup any trafic to port 162, so I can be
sure if a trap is sent or not (without replying on another application).
When I restart snmpd, two traps are sent, and then silence. Here are the
trap details as reported by OpenNMS:

     Agent Up with Possible Changes (coldStart Trap)
     enterprise:.1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.3.2.3 (.1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.3.2.3)
     args(1):.1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.4.3.0=".1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.3.2.3"

      Received unformatted enterprise event
      (enterprise:.1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.4 generic:6 specific:2). 0 args:

Thanks,
