I am having an issue which is most likely my lack of understanding and 
not a problem with 6.2 itself.

The system is running 6.2-RELEASE and I use bsnmpd.  Here is the uname 
output.

FreeBSD lucky.orisit 6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE #0: Wed Oct 10 
10:40:51 EDT 2007

What I am trying to do is get bsnmp to respond to new MIBs, specifically 
  UCD-SNMP-MIB.

After reading the manpages for bsnmp and gensnmptree I believe 
gensnmptree is the command I need to use.

This is where I get into trouble.   The gensnmptree command doesn't give 
me any results no matter what I do.  Even using a bug report example of 
gensnmptree -e sysName gives me no results.

So I proceeded to do some more google searching and noticed gensnmpdef 
was referenced several times as the program which may be what I need to use.

I found the code for this in /usr/src/contrib/bsnmp/gensnmpdef without a 
makefile.   There is no gensnmpdef in /usr/sbin on the system but it is 
in the /usr/ports/net-mgt/bsnmpd/pkg-plist.

So I guess I need some guidance.   Can I use gensnmptree to get this MIB 
into the bsnmp system? If so how is this done? -or- Is there a problem 
with the 6.2 release for gensnmpdef and that is in fact the program I am 
suppose to be using?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Jeff Royle
