Hi list,

I am getting the following error when issuing the nvaddtrapdconf command
using the trapd.conf file from the old server:

WARNING:   CATEGORY is unknown.

....

Actually the list is much longer. How can I add these categories previous
from merging the trapd.conf files from the old and the new boxes ?

Thank you.
