RE: snmptrapd 101

I finally found my problem and I don't know if this is a bug, a feature or some sort of configuration error on my part.  I decided to try running tcpdump when doing the snmptrap command and sure enough, nothing!  For complete grins, to make sure tcpdump was working I went to a different system and did a ping.  Worked fine so while there I decided to try snmptrap and lo and behold, I received it!

In other works remote traps are being received but local ones aren't.  I gotta believe snmptrapd can receive local traps especially since all the examples in the FAQ show sending to 'localhost'.

So does anyone have any idea why I can't receive local traps?
