Luke, Thanks for the reply and I'm very aware of being able to Turn on SNMP on every system. But many sites I've been to do not have those features turned on. The purpose of my site discovery tool is to capture everything even if a feature is turn on or off. I have to use several methods not just one in order to capture the info I require.
Also I don't want to load multiple tools in order to be able to capture that type of information.

You can enable SNMP on just about any OS or network appliance. http://search.cpan.org/~dtown/Net-SNMP-4.1.2/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
