Re: [nv-l] Trying to upgrade to 7.1.4

[George deSocio <desocio@us.ibm.com>]

Check /usr/OV/security/cmds for unsecure versions of the snmp utility which run without the nvsecd daemon active.
Specifically, there is a snmpget_unsecure command.

Why do you think the problem is security related?

Geo.

I think the problem is NetView security related. Should I 
be able to run snmpget with security off and the nvsecd 
down? This will only work if nvsecd is running. nvauth 
-login works and reports security is off. 

Thanks
