[Duarte Silva <duarte.silva () serializing me>]

Hi Patrik,

didn't know that. Over the weekend I will setup different SNMP "providers" to 
test the original script against and observe what should be the expected 
behaviour, because I have been testing against the JVM SNMP monitoring 
facility and the old script wasn't working very well (as I come to think about 
it, maybe it was because I was running the script against my own machine, 
localhost).

Thanks for the feedback,
Duarte
