All, 
 
I am using net-snmp-5.2.2.  when I start the SNMPD with "./snmpd -x 705
-I -interfaces", I am seeing the following as the netstat output. 
 
netstat -apn|grep snmpd
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:705             0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN      10231/snmpd
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:161             0.0.0.0:*
10231/snmpd
udp        0      0 127.0.0.1:37161         0.0.0.0:*
10231/snmpd
 
I did not understand why snmpd is listening on 127.0.0.1:37161?  what
could be the reason? 
 
Following is the cat o/p of /usr/share/snmp/snmpd.conf
 
rwcommunity  public
master agentx
#IP address on which snmptrapd/snmp Manager is listening for the traps
syslocation  ECCG
syscontact  ECCG-SUPPORT
sysservices 79
#
# Directives for SubAgent communication
#
agentxTimeout 15
agentxRetries 0
 
trap2sink localhost

Please help me. 
 
Regards
mahesh
