As for gui tools, I would say a lot of people probably dont use gui's as the true power of UNIX lies in its shell-- especially the ability to extend basic utilities to do exactly what you need them to do. But I speak only for my own shop of course. For monitoring tools, thats a very broad category... MRTG, and SNMP are two. Again, have a look through the archives. Its a common question. I have also cc'd your question to the questions@freebsd.org mailinglist. You posted in the wrong place. I suggest you have a read at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-MAIL before posting. And finally, you will do better on line to use more descriptive subject lines than just "help". I only looked at your email by accident, as I mean to open something else. ---Mike Mike Tancsa (mdtancsa@sentex.net) Sentex Communications Corp, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada "Given enough time, 100 monkeys on 100 routers could setup a national IP network."
