Yes.
There is nothing technically significant about this OID.
It's simply the enterprise number that was officially assigned
to UCDavis, and so was available for use with this project.

You can register MIB objects under any OID that you choose
(bearing in mind that different OID subtrees will be managed
by different organisations).   But the agent doesn't care.

The structure described in this section is aimed at reporting
information from arbitrary command (perl scripts, shell scripts,
binary commands, etc) - which have no knowledge of SNMP.

If you invoke the script via "exec", "sh" or "extend" directives,
then the output will always be structured in this manner.


However, a script that *does* know about SNMP has more
flexibillity, and can be used to model an arbitrary MIB structure.
See the section "MIB-Specific Extension Commands" in the
snmpd.conf man page for a description of the "pass" command.
