Just a follow up. I ran tcpdump for port 162 for a little while and when
I stopped I see this at the end:
737 packets captured
737 packets received by filter
0 packets dropped by kernel
So I guess the kernel is not dropping them. Still can't explain why
applications are not picking them up.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
James
