James,

Yes, there is another 3rd party's trapd listenning to
udp port#162. nv trapd works after I shutdown the 3rd party
trapd.

NV installation script can be enhanced by checking service
entries of tcp/162, and udp/162 at /etc/services.
NV 5.1 installation doesn't check the existing udp/162 entry
but appends following lines:

nvtrapd-trap    162/tcp   # NetView trapd monitor trap port
nvtrapd-trap    162/udp   # NetView trapd monitor trap port

which generates double entries.

I think that a warning with reference to the doc on NV trapd coexisting
with other trap services is a better solution.


Regards,


   Weiya
