Agreed -- the reason I use SNMP is that the program which monitors this stuff is far more involved than I let on -- actually watches lots of different boxes (computers, routers, etc.) from a central monitoring station. Depends on how you want to do it, and what you want to watch... SNMP is pretty hoggish, but it's universal. mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
