Bottom posting and excess text clipped ... Have you looked at using rrdcached ? I'm not sure, but I think it may allow you to avoid installing all the graphing stuff on everything. In addition, you can use it across a network, so you can collect stats on one machine, and store the database on a different one (perhaps centralising them all to one machine). That should also help with security since the machine doing the graphing won't need access to the machines generating the data - the databases would be local to it. -- Simon Hobson Visit http://www.magpiesnestpublishing.co.uk/ for books by acclaimed author Gladys Hobson.
