Hey guys I just installed FC14 64 bit system and I am looking to setup a snmp trap server so I can send up/down traps from my router to it which in turn will email me though sendmail. I have installed "net-snmp-utils-5.5-21.fc14.x86_64" and "net-snmp-libs-5.5-21.fc14.x86_64" packages and have downloaded snmptt_1.3 but I don't have the command "snmptrapd". Is there another package I need for this? Could it just be x64 doesn't support it? Thanks.

Here is some info off the box.

[root@scanserver ~]# uname -a
Linux scanserver 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Feb 7 07:06:44 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[root@scanserver init.d]# !rpm
rpm -qa | grep snmp
net-snmp-utils-5.5-21.fc14.x86_64
net-snmp-libs-5.5-21.fc14.x86_64


[root@scanserver init.d]# snmptrapd
bash: snmptrapd: command not found...
Similar command is: 'snmptrap'


[root@scanserver ~]# snmp
snmpbulkget snmpdelta snmpget snmpinform snmpset snmptable snmptranslate snmpusm snmpwalk
snmpbulkwalk snmpdf snmpgetnext snmpnetstat snmpstatus snmptest snmptrap snmpvacm

When you have the package net-snmp installed : /usr/sbin/snmptrapd

With 'su' you don't have /sbin/, /usr/sbin/ in the PATH
Then the command is not snmptrapd, but /usr/sbin/snmptrapd

If you want /sbin/, /usr/sbin/ in the PATH, do 'su -' ( su <space> <hyphen> )

..

Thanks for the tip knudfl I didn't know about that. I have always used the "su -" to login as root. I have pasted my printenv. I also checked the /usr/sbin for snmptrapd but its not there. I also ran a updatedb command and a locate command on the box but I still didn't find it. I attached all the locate command found which is libnetsnmptrapd.so.20.0.0. Could this be it on a 64 bit machine? I can make an alias if anyone thinks so. I will try to finish the snmptt install on Monday and let you guys know what I find. If it doesn't work I guess I will go back to 32 bit system.

See post # 2 : ""When you have the package net-snmp installed""


# yum install net-snmp

Thanks knudfl that worked. Sorry I misunderstood your previous post! /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf is now there.

Forgot to to tell you about this very useful command :

# yum provides */snmptrapd

.. Then yum will display the package name.
