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

/etc/rcS.d: moved_K07dmi moved_K07snmpdx

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
snmpwalk -v 2c -c xxxxxxx -m ALL localhost .1.3 | more
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Sun SNMP Agent, Sun-Fire-V240
SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 = OID: NET-SNMP-TC::solaris

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.

DESCRIPTION

       grub-mkrescue can be used to generate a rescue image with the GRUB bootloader.

OPTIONS

       --output=FILE
	      Write the generated file to FILE.  The default is to write to standard output.

       --modules=MODULES
	      Pre-load modules specified by MODULES.

       --install-modules=MODULES
	      Install only MODULES and their dependencies.  The default is to install all available modules.

       --themes=THEMES
	      Install THEMES.  The default is to install the starfield theme, if available.

       --fonts=FONTS
	      Install FONTS.  The default is to install the unicode font.

       --locales=LOCALES
	      Install only locales listed in LOCALES.  The default is to install all available locales.

       --compress[=no,xz,gz,lzo]
	      Compress GRUB files using the specified compression algorithm.

       --directory=DIR
	      Use images and modules in DIR.

       --grub-mkimage=FILE
	      Use FILE as grub-mkimage(1).  The default is /usr/bin/grub-mkimage.

       --rom-directory=DIR
	      Save ROM images in DIR.

       --xorriso=FILE
	      Use FILE as xorriso.

       --grub-glue-efi=FILE

       --grub-render-label=FILE

       --arcs-boot
	      Enable  ARCS  booting.  This is typically for big-endian MIPS machines, and disables HFS+, APM, sparc64, and "boot as disk image" on
	      the i386-pc target platform.

       --     All options after a -- will be passed directly to xorriso's command line when generating the image.
