<pre wrap="">At the risk of sounding like a drop-out from a Scrum Master training

I use SNMP every day to monitor the health of lots of servers and
services, but, to be honest, I haven't been able to follow what you're
trying to achieve with ntpsnmpd.

Good question. My understanding (what was mentioned back when I was
pointed at the project months ago) is that it is to provide another
monitoring system for people using SNMP. Essentially stuffing mode 6
through another pipe.<br>

I've been focusing on the implementation, no idea what the 30,000ft
view looks like. I had never even heard of SNMP before this. That no
doubt fills you with confidence :D.<br>
