Ok, thanks Niko, I'll try it.

Dave, I made the modifications that you suggested. I changed the initial
character of all objects of the trap to be lower-case and I specified the
fullOID name when calling snmtrap. I also changed all the STRING definitions
to OCTET STRING (did you mean OCTET STRING insead of OBJECT STRING, didn't
you?). The command now is the following:

snmptrap -v 2c -c public 127.0.0.1 "" TESTING-TRAP-NOTIFICATION::trapTEST
TESTING-TRAP-NOTIFICATION::trapTEST.time s "19:55:67"

It doesn't complain anymore about the time format, so I think it's over! I
think that the main problem that I had were the badly defined string types..
right?
