I looked at for a while, but rapidly concluded that it wasn't going anywhere.
I thoroughly remove all WBEM/CIM/SMC stuff from my Solaris installs, and
my systems are much happier for it.

I've recently been looking at snmp more (it's a company "standard", in the
sense that we have the capability to use it company-wide, although we're not
actually making much use of that capability, so as it's there one may as well
see how it can be leveraged).

How much of it is open and redistributable?
