Brian,
This is just a work-around so that you can still use your server.
Edit /etc/snmpd.conf and change this line:
trap public 127.0.0.1 1.2.3 fe # loopback
Change the "fe" (send all traps) to "f6" (send all but auth failures)
then refresh or restart snmpd.
E-mail me directly if you want an explanation of how the hex value works.

HELP!!!
I am receiving a flood of authenticationFailure traps from the NetView
server OS to the netview trapd - it is making Netview unusable due to the
very high rate at which they are coming in. I have checked the community
string settings for both /etc/snmpd.conf and xnmsnmpconf - they match. And
I have stopped and started snmpd to make sure that the current settings
take. Is there anywhere else that NetView or AIX (NV is running on AIX
4.3.3) hides the community string that I need to look at? Right now I have
NV turned off - until I can resolve this it has to stay that way!
Thanks,
Brian
