I am using scotty2.1.0 to do some snmp work.

i find i can create snmp sessions and send /rcv snmp get responses
just fine.

however, i have not been able to generate and send SNMP traps
or been able to receive them successfully using the code outlined
in the man page or the examples directory

can someone tell me what's going wrong

if you have a simple code fragment that does these simple things
with traps please send me and tell me any other things i need to
set up before executing it.

It's quite likely that there's a fault in installation
of straps. Straps is a trap re-director that must be
running to receive traps correctly (in general; some of
us have worked on alternatives to straps, but those are
very special-purpose, and almost certainly not an issue
in this case). Read up on straps.
