Hm...it looks like you may already have snmp running, or at least something else listening on UDP port 161: > # netstat -a | grep snm > udp4 0 0 *.snmp *.* Try running "sockstat | grep 161" and posting the results. Also, a quick Google for "snmp specified endpoint" turns up a fair number of newsgroup messages; some seem to suggest that there may be problems with the very latest version of net-snmpd. By any chance, are you compiling a very recent version? Hugh -- Saint Aardvark the Carpeted aardvark@saintaardvarkthecarpeted.com Because the plural of Anecdote is Myth.
