Then, periodically harvest and reset the counters via a cron job and write the results to a file. You can then prepare tables and charts which are as simple or as fancy as you please, without resorting to SNMP (which isn't secure). A little bit of code in your favorite scripting language will do it. And of course you can output to a graphing package, though for me a simple histogram using asterisks has sufficient precision in most cases. --Brett Glass At 09:48 AM 12/5/2006, Benjamin Adams wrote: >I'm on a network that has a normal store firewall, setup as a NAT.
