Re: win32 snmptrapd installation and name resolving

I wanted to have the Python script to send the traps through syslog to my
monitoring server, but when implementing the net-snmp trap handler I found
out that they are also logged to the event log. This is now my main source
of retreiving the traps. The script is almost non functional now and has the
following lines:

import sys
import socket
import time

host='127.0.0.1'
port = 514
trapdata = sys.stdin.read()

#   Uncoment for debug
# f = open('c:\snmptrapdlog.txt', 'a')
# f.write("------ " +time.strftime('%X %x') + " ---- New trap received\n")
# f.write(trapdata)
# f.close()

result_trap = 'SNMPTrap '
for datastr in trapdata.split('\n'):
   result_trap = result_trap + datastr + ';\n'

#sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
#sock.sendto(str(result_trap), (host, port))
#sock.close()

I just did a comment-out of the handler line, restarted the service and
triggered a trap. The handler is still not doing a lookup.
