[-- Attachment #1 --] Can anyone suggest a network monitoring utility along the lines of ntop that is properly sorted out. In theory at least, ntop should be a good thing, unfortunately its doesn't appear to be sufficiently debugged to be usable. Apparently the port for ntop is a geriatric one that is reported to have major problems with resource usage, & the later versions are only alpha style things best left to ardent hackers. I did download mrtg & attempted to configure it but I couldn't get anywhere with the configuration instructions. From what examples I've seen, the html interface / information provided by mrtg is inferior to that of ntop anyway ... at least for my purposes.
