Manish,

Keep in mind when referring to MIBs the filename is rather 
inconsequential as long as the actual MIB is defined SOMEWHERE in the 
file. The filenames are more for logical grouping.

Did you restart the whole snmpd, snmptrapd and snmptt works after 
chaning the .ini file to log unknown traps?
