Folks,

Over the past couple of months, intrigued by the voluminous output of
"sysctl -a", I've been digging through man pages and mailing list
archives looking for clues as to what each of these little buggers
means.  It's become apparent that I will never keep up, and that some
of them I am completely unqualified to understand, let alone explain.

So, I'm attempting to set up a web page to act as a repository of
sysctl MIB information.  I have this nice server out on the Net; it's
probably time I do something more than run my personal email off of
it.  ;)

Before I go and convert all my notes to HTML, I would appreciate any
and all feedback on the structure I'm using.  I'd hate to enter this
mess of pottage, and then have someone say "You know, a field X for
each MIB would be useful."

Eventually, I'd like to set up a submission system where people can
send in MIB documentation, and corrections to existing docs.

I've put up my (very!) rough design, and a couple of sample MIBs, at

http://www.blackhelicopters.org/~dispatch/sysctl/miblist.html

Any feedback is welcome.  I'll probably start entering what I have
this weekend.
