Net-snmp issue in Solaris 8

Hi there,

I know this is a common question, but I have not found a satsifactory solution yet, so pardon me for posting similar questions.

My problem is the log /var/adm/messages is filling up with this entry every few minutes Please refer below.
Oct 4 21:39:46 host last message repeated 3 times
Oct 4 21:41:47 host /usr/lib/snmp/snmpdx: [ID 702911 daemon.error] bind() failed on UDP port 161 [errno: Address already in use(125)]

System info :SunOS xxxxxx 5.8 Generic_117350-44 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240

Now I have already disabled the native Sun's snmp daemons, and using Net-snmp

Net-snmp starts using /etc/init.d/netsnmp script which is as follows

case "$1" in
'start')
/usr/local/sbin/snmpd
echo "Daemon snmpd started"
;;
'stop')
/usr/bin/pkill -9 -x -u 0 '(snmpd|snmpv2d|mibiisa)'
echo "Daemon snmpd stopped"
;;

When I do lsof I get the following result
snmpd 2264 root 8u IPv4 0x3000dbe1e70 0t0 TCP *:199 (LISTEN)
snmpd 2264 root 9u IPv4 0x3000573edb0 0t0 UDP *:62775 (Idle)
snmpd 2264 root 11u IPv4 0x3000dbe0c70 0t0 UDP *:161 (Idle)

ps return

ps -ef| grep snm
root 2264 1 0 21:00:01 ? 0:03 /usr/local/sbin/snmpd

When I do snmpget I receive this

[host] $ snmpget -v 1 -c xxxxxxx localhost sysUpTime.0
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (344667) 0:57:26.67

snmpwalk returns

SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: xxxxxx
SNMPv2-MIB::sysLocation.0 = STRING: LOT28
SNMPv2-MIB::sysServices.0 = INTEGER: 0
....

snmpd -f -Le returns

[host] $ snmpd -f -Le
[init_smux] bind failed: Address already in use
Error opening specified endpoint ""
Server Exiting with code 1

Why does the log still records the same errors.
And why does net-snmp's snmpd -f -Le says bind failed?

Please assist. I do not know much about Net-snmp or snmp for the matter.

NAME

       snmp - cups snmp backend

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/cups/backend/snmp ip-address-or-hostname
       /usr/libexec/cups/backend/snmp ip-address-or-hostname
       lpinfo -v --include-schemes snmp

DESCRIPTION

       The  CUPS  SNMP backend provides legacy discovery and identification of network printers using SNMPv1.  When used for discovery through the
       scheduler, the backend will list all printers that respond to a broadcast SNMPv1  query	with  the  "public"  community	name.	Additional
       queries	are  then sent to printers that respond in order to determine the correct device URI, make and model, and other information needed
       for printing.

       In the first form, the SNMP backend is run directly by the user to look up the device URI and other information when you have an IP address
       or hostname.  This can be used for programs that need to configure print queues where the user has supplied an address but nothing else.

       In  the second form, the SNMP backend is run indirectly using the lpinfo(8) command.  The output provides all printers detected via SNMP on
       the configured broadcast addresses.  Note: no broadcast addresses are configured by default.

ENVIRONMENT

       The DebugLevel value can be overridden using the CUPS_DEBUG_LEVEL environment variable.	The MaxRunTime value can be overridden	using  the
       CUPS_MAX_RUN_TIME environment variable.

FILES

       The  SNMP  backend  reads the /etc/cups/snmp.conf configuration file, if present, to set the default broadcast address, community name, and
       logging level.

CONFORMING TO

       The CUPS SNMP backend uses the information from the Host, Printer, and Port Monitor MIBs along with some vendor private MIBs  and  intelli-
       gent port probes to determine the correct device URI and make and model for each printer.
