That's what the man page says all right, but it does not mean that you can
just enter that from the command line while trapd is running. There are
some trapd options for which you can do that, such as "trapd -T" to toggle
the tracing on and off, and "trapd -L" to toggle logging on and off, but
all the others have to be specified as options on trapd when it is
initially started.
Notice how the syntax for those two cases is separate from all the others?
You got the message you did because another trapd, the one started by
ovspmd from the ovstart command, was already running, and so the sockets
the new trapd needed were in fact in use and the message is correct.
What you need to do is to use one of the configuration tools to configure
the trapd daemon for this option and have the tool restart him in the
process. You did not say what operating system you were using, but all of
them have the Tivoli desktop and you can run the configuration dialog from
there. On AIX you can also use the SMIT interface to do it. Either tool
will put the "-m<hostname>" option into the trapd_dm.lrf file, run ovdelobj
and ovadobj to add it to ovsuf, and then ovstop/ovstart trapd for it to
take effect.
And you really should be running NetView 6.0.1 or 6.0.2 since those are now
available. They fix dozens of problems found in 6.0.

Subject: [NV-L] Netview 6.0 Trap/Event Forwarding
Hello
I want to forward designated Events to a Sun-Solaris with HP-OV.
The man-page says:
# trapd -m <remote-host>
the answer after entered this command:
# UDP socket is already in use.
What is the solution (I hope, no doing in /etc/services or so ..)
