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.

set_color(1)							       fish							      set_color(1)

NAME

       set_color - set_color - set the terminal color

set_color - set the terminal color
   Synopsis
       set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR]

   Description
       Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple,
       cyan, white and normal.

       o -b, --background Set the background color

       o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names

       o -h, --help Display help message and exit

       o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode

       o -u, --underline Set underlined mode

       o -v, --version Display version and exit

       Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal.

       Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey
       font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color.

       Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator.

       set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and
       incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of
       ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue.
