If you're starting from scratch, please start with our latest release 
(5.3.0.1 plus the official patches from 
http://www.net-snmp.org/official_patches) instead of 5.1.4, especially 
if you have a later production use in mind.

I suggest starting with our notification tutorial at:

   http://www.net-snmp.org/tutorial/tutorial-5/commands/snmptrap.html

It hasn't been updated yet to cover the authorization changes introduced 
in net-snmp 5.3, so please make sure to read

   http://www.net-snmp.org/docs/man/snmptrapd.conf.html

(especially the ACCESS CONTROL section) also.

Alright so far.

Omit this part.
