Re: How to use examples/notification.c (2)

With that module compiled in, snmpd will send traps to any registered
sinks. You're correct, they're added in snmpd.conf normally.

As noted in http://www.net-snmp.org/docs/man/snmpd.conf.html:
trapsink HOST [COMMUNITY [PORT]]
trap2sink HOST [COMMUNITY [PORT]]
informsink HOST [COMMUNITY [PORT]]
will all work to add sinks, where HOST is the address of your manager,
COMMUNITY is probably public, and PORT should be omitted unless you've
changed it from the default.
