I do not know why, but on NetView 6.01 for NT, with one single map (default)
existing, I created a Smartset for 'isSNMPSupported'='False', unmanaged the
thousands of workstations, and STILL saw interface up/down events from them.
In my AIX seedfile I have as the last statement @oid 1.3.6.1.* which avoids
these workstations even getting into the databases, but this does not work on
NT. I really hope someone can tell me I'm wrong about this, as in the end I had
to resort to turning off discovery and deleting the w/s - that stopped the
pinging!
