Why display this error by running snmptrapd in my machine ??

 [root@localhost ~]# snmptrapd
No log handling enabled - turning on stderr logging

This is a standard warning message, reporting where output will be directed

 Warning: no access control information configured.
This receiver will *NOT* accept any incoming notifications.

Traditionally, the snmptrapd receiver would access incoming traps from anywhere, regardless of community. Starting from release 5.3, this is no longer true. It is now necessary to explicitly authorize the community strings you're happy to accept. This message is intended to warn you that you haven't done this, and so all incoming traps will be discarded.

See the section ACCESS CONROL in the snmptrapd(5) man page, for full details.
