FYI:
trapd.conf does indeed lock on an NT machine when it's being edited through
Netview. I went through the /usr/ov/conf directory and found trapd.lck file.
Once I deleted it I was able to get back in and make changes. I must have
closed out of the the trap config incorrectly which caused it to stay there.
