That sounds as if you still need to set the access control
settings.  A default SNMP agent would normally support much
more than the system group, but the access control is often
configured to report just this group by default.
    See the FAQ entry:
I can see the system group, but nothing else.  Why?

The Net-SNMP agent should be able to monitor the state
of the disk usage - either using the UCD-specific
'dskTable' (see the snmpd.conf directive "disk").
Or possibly using the standard Host Resources MIB tables,
if this support is configured into the agent.

The agent will *not* include support for other private
MIBs, such as the Compaq-specific ones you mention above.

Edit "snmpd.conf"  (not "snmp.conf" - note the 'd')
and add the following lines:

	rocommunity  secret
	disk  /
	disk  /home

(plus whatever other disks you want to monitor).
Restart the agent, then run

    snmpwalk  -v 1 -c secret {host} dskTable


That should serve to get you started.
