All these boxes are FreeBSD 4.7 Release. I'm sure I could rig a script to ssh into the boxes and do a df -h etc. and write the info to a file but my gut tells me there is a MUCH better solution that someone with far better programming skills has already come up with and stuck in the ports collection. So is anyone doing this? The key I'm looking for is security, which negates SNMP. Something small and secure with almost no extra features would be nice.
