Today we work hard to fit ucd-snmp in a 32MB flash card using TinyBSD (www.tinybsd.org) just because of this patch instead of contrib/'s bsnmp. This snmp thing along with the firewall accounting MIBs is specially interesting for embedded wireless systems. -- Patrick Tracanelli http://www.freebsdbrasil.com.br patrick @ freebsdbrasil.com.br "Long live Hanin Elias, Kim Deal!"
