Rajesh,

Why not -- as a stop gap, open up more of the data via snmpd. Create 
some custom scripts to pull data out of the pgsql databases and feed 
back through snmpd so we can query with our own NMS systems and get 
stuff like "Users in Quarentine Role", "Users in Temporary Role". These 
are the most common things I look at on a daily basis and I just wish I 
could integrate into my NMS which I am already staring at far too long 
during the day. Obviously if your Temporary or Qtine roles are climbing 
exponentially over time, you can predict there might be an issue at 
hand, thats usually when I start calling users in their rooms and ask 
them if they are having issues (it spooks a few of them, but most like 
the 'proactive' approach).
