The only entry I'm not comfortable about is "setserialno".
This is used to implement the TestAndIncr persistence behaviour,
so would normally only appear in the /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf
file.  It's not really intended for administrator use.

Setting this to some fixed value is hardly in the spirit of
the MIB TC DESCRIPTION:

  "When the network management portion of the system is re-
   initialized, the value of every object instance having this
   syntax must either be incremented from its value prior to
   the re-initialization, or (if the value prior to the re-
   initialization is unknown) be set to a pseudo-randomly
   generated value."

I'd suggest that this entry is omitted (both here, and from
the -H output).


The description of "diskio" is lacking a little something, too.
