Without the "-d" option, 
"snmptrapd -f -C -c /home/powah/snmp/snmptrapd.conf -Lo"
or
"snmptrapd -Lf /home/powah/tmp/log.log -f -C -c /home/powah/snmp/snmptrapd.conf"
do not see traps such as
v2 trap 
snmptrap -e 0x0102030405 -v 2c -u admin -c public 172.20.11.72 42 coldStart.0
nor when snmpd restart.

However, with the "-d" option, 
"snmptrapd -f -C -c /home/powah/snmp/snmptrapd.conf -Lo -d"
or 
"snmptrapd -Lf /home/powah/tmp/log.log -f -C -c /home/powah/snmp/snmptrapd.conf -d"
see all traps displayed on the screen or in the log.log file.

snmptrapd.conf is as follows:
createUser admin MD5 12345678 DES 87654321
createUser adminwindows MD5 12345678 DES 87654321

authuser log admin
logOption s u

Why the "-d" option make a difference?
