Personally, I use SNMP for read-only network gathering information. Depending on the device you are trying to poll, you can generally retrieve almost all information from a device. What you have described that you have already seems like SNMP. Can you give an example of a device that you want to 'test' against? Assuming that you have an SNMP v2 device available for polling, try this on your FreeBSD box: # pkg_add -r net-snmp # rehash # snmpwalk -v2c -c your_ro_community ip_or_name_of_device If you want specifics to test against, let me know off-list, and I'll give you a Cisco router to poll.

devfs rules
Hi, I am trying to get devfs to only show me a few devices but I can't seem to get devfs to recognise the new rules that I create. devfs recognises some of the rules but not all of them: # devfs -m /path/to/jail rule showsets 1 2 3 4 8 9 10 11 Rules 12 and 13 are not recognised. If I try to set the devfs ruleset to 4 (for jail in /etc/defaults/devfs.rules) for the /dev mounted in the jail then add the rules and applyset everything works fine.
