What do you mean "missing the hostname for the Linux servers"?

I've contemplated setting something similar up for some items.  snmpd
can generate traps using DisMan (see man snmpd.conf under the Active
Monitoring section), then you just need to set the handling.  Of
course, when it gets like that, I usually just break out the remote
monitoring tools anyway (check_snmp, check_ssh, check_nrpe) but I
guess it can depend, like interface up/down, or host down that never
gets caught (as in the example).
