No source?  Then it may be internal -- generated by your own box.

On AIX you an always set logging level=3 in /etc/snmpd.conf and then snmpd 
will show you the origin and contents of every incoming packet, in the 
snmpd.log which is also specified in that file, so you can put it wherever 
you have space.  If someone is sending querying you with a bad community 
name, that's how you can find out whom. 

Just change the parameters, and then stop and restart snmpd:
stopsrc -s snmpd
startsrc -s snmpd

Hi All,
          I am getting authentication failures on my Netview Server but 
the
event shows no source. Is there some file I can check to reveal a source?

AIX 4.3.3 - NV6.0.3..

Thanks!
