Lots of possibilities on these sort of questions. There is a fantastic network monitoring tool that monitors all sorts of system performance issues, call 'jffnms'. It's in portage, but, masked at the moment. It's a bit daunting to get happy, but well worth the effort. I'm waiting for it to stablize on gentoo. It was very difficult to get happy under debian, the last time I hacked at it for a client. http://dev.gentoo.org/~angusyoung/docs/jffnms/docs/jffnms.html hth, James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
