Or, if you want it to work just like in 6.0.3,
create a file in /usr/OV/bin called
netnmrc.pre
with one line in it:
export AdditionalLegalTrapCharacters=disable
and bring netview down and back up and then trapd
will quit putting those annoying \ characters into
the varbind data.
Oops! Was I not supposed to reveal this secret???
