first, thanks for the fast answer 8)

I did the netmon -a 12 and got the Interfaces that should be unmanaged in the 
ping list... 
I did a search on the IP Address for one Interface and in all Submaps it found 
it was unmanaged. The node itself is managed cause I have to monitor the other 
2 Interfaces.
I realy get confused now cause those Interfaces are unmanaged (I did a Smartset 
for those Interfaces to set them unmanaged as soon as they apear) but still 
appear in the poll list ? :-/

Hi  Michel,
Are you quite sure that these interfaces are unmanaged in ALL maps?  If 
there is ANY map with a device still managed, then you will still get  
polls.  Try ovobjprint -s <one of your nodes> - it gives you the number 
of maps an object exists in and the number of maps the object is managed 
in.  Another check is to do a netmon -a 12 and a netmon -a 16 to dump 
ping and SNMP poll times - if a device is really unmanaged, it shouldn't 
appear on either list.
Cheers,
Jane
