I was discussing this with Jeff recently, as I've been trying to wrap my head around snmp. Debian systems install the sample snmpd.conf file that comes with the distribution, and then starts the service. On a basic install, you can do something like: peter@titanium:~$ snmpwalk -v 1 localhost public .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.8 enterprises.ucdavis.extTable.extEntry.extIndex.1 = 1 enterprises.ucdavis.extTable.extEntry.extNames.1 = echotest enterprises.ucdavis.extTable.extEntry.extCommand.1 = /bin/echo hello world enterprises.ucdavis.extTable.extEntry.extResult.1 = 0 enterprises.ucdavis.extTable.extEntry.extOutput.1 = hello world which is, well... silly. But the default install also lets you find out how much disk space is on /, how many sendmail, mountd and ntalkd processes are running and check the current load. Again, the standard configuration lasted about 5 seconds, but in a distribution that I've come to expect to have a fairly sane configuration, this was a nasty shock.
