Right, but it will be a grave mistake if we just export all sysctls with SNMP. They look similar, but they are very different. If somebody wants to add *real* SNMP to the kernel, MIB-II and similar, we can probably arrange for sysctl to be a vehicle for that, but sysctl covers more territory than SNMP does. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD coreteam member | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
