HPUX Sending SNMP Trap

[SCSI Error]

Hi,

I would like to know why the machine sending an snmp trap? is there any problem in the machine that triggers the snmp trap to send? Thanks

hostname is generating a SNMP trap:

AuthenticationFailure : .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.2.3 hostname HP-UX hostname B.11.11 U 9000/800 806950620

thanks

SNMP traps can be sent from many reasons.

"AuthenticationFailure" means that someone just tried to access the machine, but did not have a correct password and/or username.

If you get just one trap like this, maybe someone just made a mistake when logging in.

But if you see a lot of messages like this from one host, or if several hosts suddenly send AuthenticationFailure traps with no obvious reason, it might mean an intruder is trying to access your systems by guessing the passwords.
