[...] As nowhere in the mail is given an hint of what could mean 'mib', to save troubles for ppl that would be as stupid as I am (not knowing what it is): I found : Mib means "Management Information Base" which is for me not very much informative but you might learn more from: ----8<--- The purpose of this file is to communicate information concerning a possibile standardization effort for an http server Management Information Base (MIB). Http servers provide the information that is accessible on the World Wide Web (WWW). The performance of these servers determines the usability of the web. Http servers are typically monitored through access and error log files. This becomes a difficult task when a single organization is responsible for a number of servers. For this reason, monitoring the server with SNMP is desireable so that a single network management station (NMS) can manage a number of http servers. Providing a standard MIB for this purpose allows a single management application to manage a number of different servers. ----8<--- (http://www.onramp.net/~cwk/http-mib/) I hope it deals with others' curiosity :-) [tell me if i'm really a fool and everybody knowed what MIB is] dl -- Laurent Demailly * http://hplyot.obspm.fr/~dl/ * Linux|PGP|Gnu|Tcl|...
