Not trying to highjack this interesting thread, but has anyone managed to do
the same against SGI IRIX? What annoys me most is that when i query system i
get the uptime of the actual snmpd instance not the host - which may or may
not necessarily be the same length of time. I have googled and googled and
have had no real success.

Anyone doing this that might be able to help?

Thanks in advance
