1.1     ! misho       1: NTP SNMP subagent for Net-SNMP
        !             2: 
        !             3: Installation Guides:
        !             4: 
        !             5: - install net-snmp from source (configure, make;, make install)
        !             6: - edit the snmpd configuration file (/usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf):
        !             7:   add the lines
        !             8:    master agentx
        !             9:    agentXSocket   tcp:localhost:705
        !            10:   and check which read-only community is configured (should be "rocommunity  public")  
        !            11: - start snmpd (sudo /usr/local/sbin/snmpd) and check that it is running correctly by running the command
        !            12:   snmpwalk -v2c -c public localhost
        !            13:   (which should output a lot of data values for the supported built-in MIBs of net-snmp)
        !            14: - build the libntpq and the libntp library
        !            15: - build the ntpsnmpd application (make) and run it (./ntpsnmpd)
        !            16: - now you can run 
        !            17:    snmpwalk -v2c -c public localhost enterprises.5597.99
        !            18:   which should give you a list of all currently supported NTP MIB objects and their current values
        !            19:   
        !            20: Please note that currently I use a private MIB OID (enterprises.5597 is the Meinberg top level OEM OID and 99 is my temporary working space for this project). 
        !            21: The final OID has to be registered with IANA and this is done by the RFC Editor when the NTPv4 MIB RFC is standardized. 
        !            22: I will try to do this earlier in order to be able to have a working solution at the end of this project.
        !            23: 
        !            24: In its current state the daemon supports these objects:
        !            25: 
        !            26: ntpEntSoftwareName
        !            27: ntpEntSoftwareVersion
        !            28: ntpEntSoftwareVersionVal
        !            29: ntpEntSoftwareVendor
        !            30: ntpEntSystemType
        !            31: ntpEntTimeResolution
        !            32: ntpEntTimeResolutionVal
        !            33: ntpEntTimePrecision
        !            34: ntpEntTimePrecisionVal
        !            35: ntpEntTimeDistance
        !            36: 
        !            37: They all use the libntpq library to access information from the ntpd instance with mode 6 packets.
        !            38: 
        !            39: Next step is to implement the status section of the MIB (section 2).
