Ray -
 fic_unix_12.fic.com is the name of the box that Steve used in the sample
event he posted.
It is not a web site.  It is the name of host in his network.  What I am
saying is that you turn on the snmpd trace in the host that is sending the
authentication failure traps and the trace on that box will tell you who is
doing it.

Hello James.

Can you clarify the message below? I cannot access the site you mention in
the note.
While we have determined the source of the error, we cannot determine the
cause.

TIA.

Ray Westphal.
