That reminds me :-) mrtg databases are compact files in plain text
format which is nice too.

Never mind, I am not here to start a flame. Thank you and Mike for
recommending Cacti, I can easily find a jail or a dedicated virtual
host for it, with all its dependencies, if it's worth while.
It's just my old school misgivings about the dependency hell. Am I
getting old-fashioned? If you already run Gnome or something like this
on your Unix servers, then you of course don't care if a score of
extra packages are automatically installed for you (which is the case
with my FreeBSD desktop, but still not with the servers).
