Sorry, Ctrl+Enter along with being distracted sent the email before I 
was finished...

I was just wondering if anyone had seen a howto or site that chronicled 
someone changing their SNMPd to run on ports other than 161/162.

I've found many people talk about their ISP blocking the ports, but 
no-one saying "so here's how I changed my ports".

I've tried searching for "agentaddress snmpTrapdAddr", which, I think, 
would be things required to be on a page discussing changing ports, but 
I only find 4 results, no-one has made a page it seems that shows how 
this is done. I suspect if I ever get it working, this email list will 
be searched by some future unfortunate soul and they'll be grateful for 
any help you give.

Thanks,
Daniel
