How to install SNMP trap Reciever
 

Hi Folks,

I've been trying to install snmpd on my Ubuntu 12.04 all day however i can't suceed. I'm quite new to linux and what I would like to achieve is that the PC is able to recieve SNMP traps from inside the netowkr. I've installed snmpd and followed some guides found on google however i cant make it work.

Can someone please provide me with some more information or a simple how-to please ?

/etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf: line 18: Error: Blank line following TRAPDRUN=yes token.

So traps are being recieved infact i was able to see them in wireshark however got the error after TRAPDRUN , what i should write after it ? and also have the other error :/
