The previous suggestions I got about using the netscape enterprise server
mib with my netview helped me move
in the right direction.  I now know that the netscape subagent is working
correctly and sending messages.
So Im thinking the problem is with the snmpd.conf and the snmpd.peers files
on the target machine.

However according to the netscape manual:

    For example, you might add this line to the snmpd.conf:
        smux   1.3.6.1.4.1.1.1450.1   ""   IP_address   net_mask
    If you need more information, see your related system documentation for
details.

And that is the extent of their manuals help on using their server with AIX.

Is there anything besides these two files that could need to be configured
on the target machine?
