[AGENT++] How to connect to master agentX server?

[Claus Klein]

Hi Frank

what is the right way to connect to a running master agent on port localhost:705

claus-mbp:lib clausklein$ ../bin/subagent ::1

: (1)EVENT  : AgentXSlave: connecting on TCP (socket)(port): (3), (705)
20141110.23:22:44:   10 A3 F3 73 FF 7F 00 00                            ...s....

claus-mbp:lib clausklein$ ../bin/subagent nmsv6

: (1)EVENT  : AgentXSlave: connecting on TCP (socket)(port): (3), (705)
20141110.23:24:25:   10 A3 F3 73 FF 7F 00 00                            ...s....

same for 
../bin/subagent localhost

claus-mbp:lib clausklein$ cat /etc/hosts
##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1	localhost
::1	        nmsv6
255.255.255.255	broadcasthost
::1             localhost
fe80::1%lo0	localhost
claus-mbp:lib clausklein$ 


only when i start the subagent as superuser it works; if not:

: (2)EVENT  : SubAgentXMib: opening socket
