That would be because Apple's SNMP implementation is severely hampered on
PPC hardware and out and out crippled on Intel hardware. It's also
incredibly fragile. I can kill snmpd on my xserves with snmpwalk. I don't
know what Apple's internal issue is with snmp, but if I had to guess, they
are probably never going to support it worth a tinker's damn. you're better
off learning to parse their XML that they use for their tools, in spite of
the fact that it's a ton more resource intensive for simple things.
