snmptt and nagios, access to nagios.cmd file

[Marco Tirado]

My snmptt.conf file for the trap I am testing looks like:

EVENT ospfOriginateLsa .1.3.6.1.2.1.14.16.2.0.12 "Status Events" Normal
FORMAT $D. $Fn VARIABLE VALUES: $-*
EXEC /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/submit_check_result "myhost"
"snmp_traps" 1 "My text message" >> /tmp/OutputTest 2>&1
SDESC
...
EDESC

And my nagios configuration is correct as I can see the passive check
results in my nagios console if I run the above EXEC command from the
command line as user snmptt.
