Thank you to Joe and all others who sent private e-mails (too numerous
to list here) to remind me that port 161 probe is SNMP probe.
(I should have checked the modern /etc/services on the solaris 2.x
boxes before posting. I checked the old /etc/services file on sunos
4.1.4 box and didn't find 161 there.)
I will modify the log summary generator to mark these probes
as SNMP probes.
Also, I wondered how people learned the owners of the net are in US
and New Zealand. Then, I found a search engine called
"WHOIS" at
http://www.geektools.com/cgi-bin/whois.cgi
"dig -x" against the recorded addresses didn't produce anything
useful, but the above search engine did. I learned one more thing.
Thank you all.
