	Definitely a good one, forgot that.

	On my top list:

    Nagios
    RT
    CACTI/RRDtool
    SNMPD
    SNMPTT (for easily developing SNMP trap handlers)
    NetDisco
    SNMP::Info (perl module for dealing with lots of network equipment via
        SNMP, has a large number of exceptions to hand quirks in different
        versions of IOS/CatOS, etc...).

	P.
