But I am not sure the above Justin> said mapping will be followed always. sysDescr is the right object to look at to figure out the information you want. I don't know how it's implemented on Windows, but on linux it gives you the os type (linux) the host name and the kernel version number. If you want it to contain something else, you could do manual configuration using the 'override' directive or something similar. But if you were going to do that, I'd be tempted to put the information somewhere else instead (say, even in something like sysLocation if you're not using it for anything else or even better in it's own brand-now self-defined mib object). -- Wes Hardaker Sparta, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
