New description:

 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.  we need
 to fix it; the top level behavior must be generic.
