Summary: Traps with wrong peername

Initial Comment:
Hi,

when receiving traps with older versions (like 5.4.1) of Net-SNMP, the netsnmp_session had a variable peername which contained the IP address of the sending host in ASCII coding (like "192.168.1.2"). In the current 5.4.2.1 version, the variable contains the IP of the receiving host - not very useful.

Is this a bug? Is it a feature? If so, how can I determine the IP address of the machine which sent the trap?

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Andreas (andreas.rieke(at)isl.de)
