SNMP_HOSTRES(3) 	     Library Functions Manual		 SNMP_HOSTRES(3)

NAME
     snmp_hostres -- host resources module for bsnmpd(8)

LIBRARY
     (begemotSnmpdModulePath."hostres" = /usr/lib/snmp_hostres.so)

DESCRIPTION
     The  snmp_hostres	module implements the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB as standardized
     in RFC 2790.

RESTRICTIONS
     Not all information in the MIB is meaningful in FreeBSD  or  is  available.
     The following variables are not implemented or carry no information:

     hrFSType
	     There  are  several  types of file systems for which no appropriate
	     OID exists yet which are supported by FreeBSD.  For  smbfs,  procfs
	     and   devfs   ,   hrFSOther  is  returned.   In  all  other  cases,
	     hrFSUnknown.

     hrFSBootable
	     It is questionable what bootable means here.  Does it mean that the
	     BIOS is available to start a boot on that file system  or	does  it
	     mean  that there is something bootable?  In either case this infor-
	     mation is not available so this variable returns True for the  root
	     file  system  (which  is not necessarily correct) and False for all
	     others.

     hrFSLastFullBackupDate, hrFSLastPartialBackupDate
	     This is not available and always returns an empty string.	Theoret-
	     ically, this could be retrieved from  /etc/dumpdates,  which  would
	     hardly be correct given the different ways of doing backups.

     hrDiskStorageTable
	     Floppy  devices  are currently not reported.  Also the names of the
	     disks are hard-coded in the module.
