UC Davis has a software package (ucd-snmp) that supplies all the utilities 
you need to work with SNMP from Unix.  You get daemons to run and collect 
traps, daemons to run to respond to SNMP queries, and a whole slew of 
utilities for making your own queries.  Your distribution probably bundles 
it; both Red Hat and Debian do.
