No, it wasn't. Thank you Robert. When I finally thought to power-cycle the machine, then snmpd behaved just as we'd expect. As you say, I must have somehow gotten the kernel into a funny mode. I apologize for posting the question when the answer might have become apparent with just a little time. I thought perhaps snmpd daemonized itself in some special, super-secure, signal-proof secret way; thus my posting. Thanks everyone for thinking about this question. -- Pete Wilson ------------------------------------------------------- This Newsletter Sponsored by: Macrovision For reliable Linux application installations, use the industry's leading setup authoring tool, InstallShield X.
