Dave,

I use CentOS 5.6 stable version which appears to be
net-snmp-5.3.2.2-9.el5_5.1 ; kinda old I guess :/
I can't really try other versions since I'm in a production environnement.
Looking at the changelogs, I guess the patch you mentioned is "[PATCH
1916840]: new config option to set SNMPv1 trap agent address"
(http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=312694&aid=1916840&group_i
d=12694)
I thought it was a misconfiguration of my doing but apparently is a known
issue then ? As if it is hardcoded that the IP address inside the trap PDU
has to be the first eth* iface with an ipv4 addr.

As a quickfix I now send inform paquets.
iirc snmp agent 5.5 will be shipped with Centos 6, we'll see then..


Greetings,
Florian
