Check into running MRTG on your RH server, and snmp on the Dachstein box. If you want to roll something on your own, basically take a look at /proc/net/dev, which lists TX/RX bytes/packets/errors/etc. Do a little math on the numbers, and you'll have your stats. NOTE: Dachstein doesn't include anything that can handle big-number math, and the byte counts can get pretty large...probably the easiest way to do something on your own (if MRTG won't do what you want) is to do something like e-mail the contents of /proc/net/dev periodically from cron to an account on your RH box. ...or you could create an ssh account on the Dachstein box, and have a script on the RH box grab /proc/net/dev via ssh for processing... ...or you could grab /proc/net/dev via http & weblet/sh-httpd... ...or you could write a program that could handle the large number math, and run that on the Dachstein box... ...or about a zillion other options :-) Charles Steinkuehler http://lrp.steinkuehler.net http://c0wz.steinkuehler.net (lrp.c0wz.com mirror) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: AMD - Your access to the experts on Hammer Technology!
