Well, I guess it's up to you whether you want to remove something that makes it
easier to manage your snmp environment. The UCD agent will only provide you some
of the information you may need. If you have any machines with applications (I
would assume that those SUN boxes aren't just sitting there doing nothing, they
must have apps running on them) with snmp agents (eg,
firewall-1,db2,oracle,domino or whatever)
How would you access them on the same port, I know no way of getting Netview to
poll for snmp variables on different ports for different applications etc.
That's why the master agent is so good, it has been stable for us, it doesn't
have to do much, it's just a redirector really.

Neither of these agents can replace each other, they compliment each other.
If you want to replace the SUN snmpd mibii agent with the UCD agent, that would
make sense, but why would you want to remove the master agent ?

If there are problems with this Master-agent (note the versions and
patches!!) you have to do something.
I think swap it and replace it by f.i. the ucd daemon might be a good idea.
