I installed the ucd-snmp from the ftp site but it did not include any of the standard mibs or directory structure as defined in the man pages. I then tried to install the source packages twice, and YAST says it completed but the source cannot be found on the machine. This is probably the single biggest reason Linux is not a viable replacement for the current paradigm in client computing. The documentation just doesn't cut it. Installation is incomplete with no followup help. There are no readily available methods of determining whether something is indeed installed on the system. In short, I have blown 6 hours screwing with this. The cost of that lost time begins to justify the extremely high cost of snmp solutions on other platforms, so it is no surprise to me that they continue to thrive. Am I missing something obvious or did I fail to offer the correct sacrifice this morning? What linux god to I need to grovel before this time?
