931.1Looks like dictionary messed up by SNMP_AM installationTOOK::CAREYWed Apr 17 1991 20:5936
    
    I think you have encountered the soon to be famous SNMP-AM-in-the-dictionary
    problem!
    
    Have you installed the SNMP AM recently?
    
    The only time I have seen this error from DECnet Phase IV is after 
    SNMP has been added to the dictionary.
    
    Some arguments to directives are universal, and SNMP was setting them
    to a value different than DECnet expected.  DECnet does careful request
    validation, and the argument to the SET directive is coming in with the
    wrong value.  We reject it early, hoping to keep anything really
    serious from going on.
    
    You will find that all SET requests to DECnet Node4 entities fail.
    
    Check the release notes from the SSB kit that you have installed.  They
    contain directions for cleaning up the dictionary and rebuilding the
    parse tables.  Once you do that, you'll find that this error no longer
    occurs.
    
    There is a note in this notes file about someone else encountering this
    problem as well....  Which note?  I'll have to look around.
    
    If you haven't installed the SNMP_AM for managing TCP/IP, then let us
    know immediately.  We'll have to try to find out what is happening.
    
    If you do have the SNMP AM installed, then check the release notes,
    correct the dictionary, and you'll be up and running in short order.
