HPUX 11 and snmp daemon

did you start the trap receiver as root (only root can bind to ports <
1024)? 

/etc/services is only table that holds mappings numeric port <-->
readable name. "lsof -i" and netstat (at least under linux) can help to
identify which program listens on which port.

Kind regards,
