Wes> the sysName object should return the current hostname right then (IE, Wes> if you change it then the agent should report the changed value). Are you sure, Wes? The code looks suspiciously as if SK is right. The value for the MIB object 'systemName' is taken from the internal buffer "sysName". This is set initially to be the value of hostname when the agent starts, but can then be changed (e.g. via the "sysname" directive, or SET requests). It certainly doesn't look as if it tracks changing values of the underlying hostname.
