Re: It's unlikely this agent can serve any useful purpose in this state / This receiver will *NOT* accept any incoming notifications

I realize that a few days after I sent the original email. I ended up
having to rpm remove 5.1.2, then creating a script to clean up the
initial 5.4.2.1 since it had left residue from the original install,
then re-installing 5.1.2. I'm using 5.1.2 because the latest release
is missing lots of dependencies for the version of Redhat I have.
Below is the script for anyone trying to clean up their nagging
installs:

first do a:

find / -iname *snmp*
Make sure you don't delete anything you don't want to (i.e.- /etc and
/proc stuff...etc...)

Then execute the following script:

#!/bin/bash
find / -iname *snmp* | egrep -v [ANYTHING YOU WANT OMITTED FROM THE
SEARCH] >> links
filename=links
declare -a array1
array1=( `cat "$filename"`)
rm -fRdv echo ${array1[@]}
