Snmptrap help

Hello all,

I'm trying to setup snmptrapd on a linux server to
catch traps from IBM hardware.

I'm having a hell of time getting this to work. After
much google'n around and testing I was finally able to
send a trap to localhost on the server and write the
trap to a file using this command:

snmptrap -e 0x0102030405 -v 3 -u myuser -a MD5 -A
mypassword -l authNoPriv localhost:162 42 coldStart.0

With a config file like this:

createUser -e 0x0102030405 myuser MD5 mypassword DES
myotherpassword
authUser log,execute,net myuser

traphandle default /usr/bin/tee -a
/home/myuser/logs/traps.log

Problem is, the IBM hardware doesn't have an area to
specify the engineID, so the trap it sends fails with:

snmp_parse: Parsed SNMPv3 message (secName:myuser,
secLevel:authNoPriv): USM unknown security name (no
such user exists)

I've tried to remove the engineID from the createUser
statement and I've tried to use the following options
in the config file:

disableAuthorization yes
ignoreAuthFailure yes

But nothing seems to work.

Is there a way to either discover the engineID to use
for the IBM hardware or setup the server to not
require it to send SNMPv3 traps?

Thanks
-Chris
