Interesting - I went back to 5.1 as well, while retaining MDAC 2.0 - no
improvement in the time (2-3 minutes) it takes event browser to come up;
also, ovstart and ovstop are *extremely* sluggish. Did receive dr. watson
errors, but I can't remember under what circumstances/what was happening
when they occurred. I'll be investigating further, as well as watching
trapd closely - I'm strongly suspecting odbc driver problems here, but can't
pinpoint them. I enabled sql tracing, but nothing's being written to the
file, strangely enough.
Traps are being received and processed, as well as being written to the sql
database - demand polling also working intermittendly, but this might be
traced to snmp timeouts/transmission problems, not any faults with netmon.
