I saw this warning from isc-sysinfo ran on a FreeBSD server:
{{{
NOTE: You have to run this program as the root user so that it can
collect all the information it requires. Some information is
only available to the root user.
}}}
but, as far as I can see, there's no information that is missing
whether or not I run it as a root. I further suspect it's applicable
to all BSD variants (I see this note on MacOS too).
I suspect it's another example of the Linux-centric mindset. I need
to fix it; the top level behavior must be generic.
