You can use the ipfw logging capability to log traffic and something along the lines of a perl script to compile it into whatever form or statistics you need. If you're using Squid or any other cache, there is a lot of information logged, and programs such as Calamaris to analyze it. Most mail programs will record transaction data as well, although I don't know of any analyzers, there must be something available! You also have snmp programs as well as mrtg, which produces nice graphs. Which combination of tools you use is going to depend more specifically on what you need to monitor, but hopefully I've given you some direction. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
