SNMP Agents & SGI Portability of scotty

[2 unrelated questions.. sorry].

Firstly, would anyone like to recommend an SNMP agent for a SPARC server
running SunOS 4.1.3/4. I would like to add on extra functionality later
on to give additional SNMP monitoring functions, which I would expect to
do using scotty as a proxy.

Secondly, having got this SGI beasty running IRIX 5.3 to compile things
at last, I get a set of errors when using the IP Discover functions in
tkined. The trace given is:-
sendto failed: Permission denied
while executing
"$s get sysObjectID.0 [list discover_snmp_callback $id "%S" "%E"]"
("foreach" body line 4)
invoked from within
"foreach id [array names nodes] {
set ip $address($id)
if {[catch {snmp session -address $ip -retries $icmp_retries -timeout $icmp_timeout} s ..."
(procedure "discover_snmp" line 6)
invoked from within
"discover_snmp"
invoked from within
"if {[info exists nodes]} {
discover_traces
discover_masks
discover_snmp
discover_fips
discover_networks
discover_gateways
discover_links
merge ..."
(procedure "Discover IP Network" line 45)
invoked from within
"{Discover IP Network} {{NETWORK network0 {Server Network} 194.152.64.0 0 {}}}"

Any clues as to where I should look for problems... [NB the operation also
puts this into the trace window
Discover 194.152.64 from europa [194.152.64.137]
38 nodes found on network 194.152.64 in 10 seconds.
38 routes traced in 49 seconds.
38 netmasks queried in 3 seconds.
]. The environment is IRIX 5.3, tk4.0p2 using the SGI compilers.
