NAME
       straps - A simple SNMP trap multiplexer.

SYNOPSIS
       straps [ port ]
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION
       The straps trap daemon listens on the snmp-trap port (usu-
       ally port 162/udp) for incoming SNMP trap or  inform  mes-
       sages  and  forwards  them  to all connected clients (like
       scotty). The optional port  argument  allows  to	 use  the
       straps  daemon to forward messages received on a non stan-
       dard SNMP trap port. However, port numbers below 1024 will
       be rejected.

       Clients	connect	 to  the  straps  daemon  by  opening the
       AF_UNIX domain stream socket /tmp/.straps-port. Thus,  the
       default	  AF_UNIX   domain   stream   socket   is   named
       /tmp/.straps-162.

       Received messages are forwarded using the  following  for-
       mat:

	      4 byte	IP  address  of the sender (network-byte-
			order).

	      2 byte	Port number of the sender  (network  byte
			order).

	      4 byte	Length	of  the	 trap message (host-byte-
			order).

	      n bytes	The trap message itself.

       The straps daemon must be installed  setuid  root  because
       normal  operating systems require root permissions to open
       the standard SNMP trap port  162/udp.  The  straps  daemon
       rejects	all  port  numbers below 1024 in order to protect
       the system security.
