That's correct, although to be totally honest I don't know exactly how that works. There's a program called seaport that runs at boot time to find an unused port for the communication between snmpd and snmpdx. As far as I can tell, that's not very resiliant against restarts and the like. -- Keith M Wesolowski "Sir, we're surrounded!"
