Hello all

I wonder if anyone has encountered this problem before and can assist me.
I am using AIX 4.2.1 & NV 5.0.

I have developed a ruleset and in it I am checking if the trap has come from
either NV or an agent. To check if the trap has originated from NV , I check
the 2nd varbind field within the trap and this works fine. However, when I
test the origin field to check if the trap has been sent from an agent ,
this fails. By using [nvcdebug -d all] , I noticed that the origin field is
declared as a ulong field and contains a large integer in it and therefore
this test always fails.

Is this a NV bug or is some setup of mines incorrect with NV or am I doing
something wrong.Thanks in advance
