Paul:
No, I didn't assign any communities to communityNames.conf becuase I already
imported the snmp configuration. I could try that, but it would be a
workaround. Since it is only a secondary Netview, i prefer to reinstall it
rather than having a faulty installation.
Im running Netview for Linux 7.1.3 with Fixpack 01.
thanks

Have you added any of these community names to the communityNames.conf file?
Also have you installed any patches? If so, which patches?
