NAME
     ap-trapd - a SNMP trap processing daemon

SYNOPSIS
     ap-trapd [ -i device ] [-u user ] [-s]

DESCRIPTION
     ap-trapd  It's a SNMP trap processing daemon that accepts traps, parse them
     and store useful data using syslog, at logging LEVEL0.  Specify  device  to
     listen  for  SNMP traps on the particular device (this option only works at
     Linux). To be running by user different from nobody you may specify user.
     To correct work with Smartbridges APs specify -s  key  (they  use	specific
     traps).
     Utility added to ap-utils from version 0.8.

SYSLOG
     To  store	traps  to own log file you may add next string to your /etc/sys-
     log.conf
	  local0.*	 /var/log/ap-traps.log
     After doing it, just restart syslogd with command like
	  killall -HUP syslogd
