thanks again James
sad but true.. I was afraid that's the reason
linux version? does it support trap v2?
what about not receiving Nokia traps in Netview we did some tests
restarting the machine and I saw some snmptraps like Link up in ethereal
but couldn't see them in netview. another test was to send a snmptrap
from checkpoint firewall software whenever we have a specific firewall
rule (it was permit snmp read) and I received them in netview event log
as "enterprise specific trap from ENTERPRISES...." I guess that's
because we didn't configured any trap for checkpoint specific enterprise
mib (like I said I mib2trap returned zero traps from checkpoint mib file)

I'd say you need more current service for trapd. Or else you need to
stop getting SNMP V2 traps from Nokia, or Checkpoint or whomever.
The trapd you have (on Windows) CANNOT receive SNMP V2 traps and
will fail under certain circumstances just as you describe. Having
devices send SNMP V2 traps to your Windows NetView is pointless -- it
will either ignore them (the best case) or die trying to process them
(the worst case).
There is service available which tries to make trapd ignore all such
traps and not die, but that is the best you will see for the near future.
I would contact IBM Service and obtain a more recent e-fix for your
level of code. The latest level for NetView 7.1.3 is the one provided
by PJ29321, though the earlier PJ29186 should also solve your problem.
But all that either will do is toss your SNMP V2 traps away.
If you have a need to see SNMP V2 traps in NetView then you have no
choice at this time but to switch to a UNIX implementation.

hi there list
again a netview on windows problem!!
we try to receive some checkpoint traps and instead we receive a
"program error" from trapd ... and half of the daemons are death.
also I can't see Nokia traps (I saw with a "tcpdump-like" tool they are
coming but I can't see them in netview event log!!)
of course I had imported nokia mibs (some are version I some are version
II) and also checkpoint mibs (this is version1 I think).. anyway I
couldn't import (via mib2trap) any traps from checkpoint mib file.
anyway the main error is that killing daemons error
any ideea?
thanks !
