Re: Traphandle (TraptoEmail) Not working properly (read: Permission denied ???)

First with your prior question:

snmptrapd (-Le) will log to stderr.
snmpd (-Lf) will log to a file. Use (-Le) to get to standard error.

What is traptoemail? Script? Binary?

The only other reason I can think of for running from the shell and not from 
snmptrapd is from environment values. I suspect that the error you are 
getting has nothing to do with permissions, but is something else.

Can you post your /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf?

Which OS? Compiled latest net-snmp or using package?

BR,
Nikos
