OSR3 is Open Desktop 3.2v4.x and such.
OSR5 is OpenServer 5 as in 3.2v5.0.x.
For the exact version and OS patches installed, run:
        customquery listpatches | head -1

There's a reason.  SNMP2, 2.1 and now 3 primarily deal with security
issues.  These are usually buried in multiple convoluted snmpd.conf
files.  Under some (not all) Linux mutations, UCD-SNMP arrives where
even localhost cannot read the local machine without first tweaking
the security stuff.  I guess this is an improvement.  Anyway, in
3.2v5.0.6, mkdev snmp was cleaned up with reasonably secure defaults,
while 3.2v5.0.5 and before are wide open on arrival.

Incidentally, if there's some stuff you wanna monitor, (sar
statistics, idle precentage, memory usage, diskspace), I have some
shell scripts for the purpose which will work for just about anything
worth graphing.  I keep promising Tobias to document it properly.
Sigh, yet another project.

Also, be advised that the 3.2v5.0.6 version has:
        brand -u
which will return the number of licenses consumed.  Very handy when an
aspiring user decides to see how many telnet sessions he can open and
runs the system out of licenses.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
