I'm just curious, why would you want to run unsigned code on a Juniper device? What is the use case?

I was doing a number of unholy things at the time, effectively monkey-patching and syscall interception of some of the daemons for "seemed like a good idea at the time" reasons.

Also, sometimes, you just want to throw a tool on there to test something.

Today, I'd love to run stuff like tailscale for access to the control plane remotely.

Mostly, however? I did it because they said I couldn't.

Custom collection daemon or other type of agent.

Considering how annoying SNMP is to use and how terrible the alternatives are, that would have been a very good use case.
