I has wondered that same thing, when I read Garrett's message last night. I almost replied immediately asking the same thing. Them I realized that Solaris snmp is different in lots of ways which means you can't just drop-in replace net-snmp. Unfortunately, snmp has always been a bit of voodoo to me (I know how it works and why, but I've never comfortably mastered making it work). Otherwise I'd be interested in biting at this problem, as the incompatibilities between implementations have gnawed at me for literally years. Of course, some of that may just be that snmpd has suffered from the traditional "it just never got updated enough to keep up with other implementations" thing and that most incompatibilities are no more than percieved. If someone very knowledgeable about Sun's snmpd as well as, say, net-snmp can start a list of known differences (and perhaps mark where each implementation is clearly superior), it may help whoever ends up tackling this. (The site has a wiki, right? I've not tried hitting it from my phone yet.) --Matt Sent from my HTC Touch Pro2 on the Now Network from Sprint®.
