OK, one of my biggest pet peeves of late is that unless you have the PS/2 keyboard plugged in at boot time, it's not recognized. In a world of workstations where every machine has a keyboard, this would never really be a problem but in our data center, where we have rows of racks full of

While it can be done (I do it), using MRTG/rateup/Cricket/etc. without SNMP is much like pushing a car down the street. Sometimes it's The Right Thing to do but for the other 99.4% of the time, it's far preferable to use the engine to power it. UCD-SNMP is more than just the UCD SNMP daemon.

That's because any "consensus" would be inappropriate for mass consumtion. It really depends on a lot of fun things like the average file size and the number of files that the drives will be storing. For example, a mail server might want more inodes than a database server. The mail server will
