Free memory

[Vince]

Heh well that will teach me to belive what I read on the web 
without testing it myself.
I can repeat your results and cant realy give a reason other than 
getting memory information on freebsd seems to be a bit tricky 
(see sysctl vm.vmtotal for more confusion, I'm still not sure what 
That all realy means.)

I do my memory monitoring localy (based on the scripts at 
http://www.ag0ny.com/graphs/) and just assumed that net-snmp would
"just work".
My best suggestion now would be to either ask on questions@ or 
on the net-snmp mailing lists.

Vince
