Is there any cute tools for aiding the configuration like webmin or anything? Are the sample files "good enough" to get it working in short enough order to mess around with it? I need a tool (or suite of tools, if need be) to monitor things. For one, I need to monitor the traffic and find out why our 100 Mbit switched network is SO FREAKING SLOW. I also need a tool to monitor various pieces of networking hardware (servers, switches, routers, etc) so if a link goes down, we can troubleshoot it quickly. I think Netsaint will accomplish the latter, complete with pretty GUI. Any ideas on the former? I'm messing with Ethereal, seems to do a nice job at telling me what's out there at least. -Brian
