RE: Formatting of snmptrapd received traps in log file.

It didn't work for me either. I ended up using the command line -F
switch. The log options didn't work either in the file, I had to use
-Lf. This is version 5.4.1. Some other options in the file (like turning
of authorization) did work. But not the format1, format2 or log options.

I also didn't find a way to differentiate between logging the traps and
the internal error messages. That would be nice to have (ie, send
internal error messages to one file, traps to another).
