One aspect of Net-SNMP that should be documented with regard to
embedded systems is whether or not Net-SNMP assumes that the system it
is running on has a hostname. On some embedded systems the hostname
(the string returned by gethostname()) has been left empty.

Additionally, on many embedded systems DNS has not been set up (empty
/etc/resolv.conf). People deploying Net-SNMP on such an embedded
system need to know which components of Net-SNMP rely on access to a
DNS server, if there are any such components.
