While I cannot tell you which is the best for your organization, I can suggest a couple of them. a) Monit b) Nagios Monit is a quick install and configurable NMT (relatively) and works primarily by checking the procID for the services. it's lightweight you can say. Known limitation: simply checks for LDAP process id running, and does not do a bind (or simulate actual login). so when LDAP is screwed up, you will not come to know since the process is actually running. I dont know if it has a GUI but the conf file is quite intuitive and doable. Nagios is pretty much the industry standard when it comes to free, linux based network monitoring system. There is a learning curve however, but it believes in binding to ldap thus avoiding a lot of trouble and grief. It has a GUI so u can feel good about running a NMS. u can even write your own basic version. hth. abhi __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
