How about e.g. 'sysctl -a hw', which still shows *all* MIB's?
At least on ref5 as of this very moment..
[roam@ref5:~]$ sysctl -a hw | fgrep . | cut -d. -f 1 | sort -u
cshumway@ref5
debug
hw
jail
kern
machdep
net
p1003_1b
user
vfs
vm
[roam@ref5:~]$
(well, so my filter wasn't exact; but still, it does *not* limit
the output to hw.* MIB's..)
G'luck,
Peter
