I personally use good 'ole bash prompt. But a lot of people don't seem to like this method! Webmin is another good tool for administering a FreeBSD server (unlike some control panels, it doesn't takeover your server). It's extremely easy to install as well.

PlanetZ im with you on that. Its what I currently do and dont plan to change being as I dont add new users or anything often, the prompt works good with nice cutnpaste :) What do you use to monitor bandwidth with PlanetZ ?

I think I may have misinterpreted that question:

We use MRTG to monitor the bandwidth of each server. To monitor virtual accounts, we just check weblogs. (Right now we use webalizer). I know it doesn't include FTP, email, etc. but we really haven't found a better solution or had a need for one.

I really dont know what the question was really for now. But yes mrtg is perfect for server bandwidth and I also use webalizer/awstats for webpages and I also run ipfm in the background to track per ip traffic. Ipfm isnt to great but it seems to work. I am thinking of trying a program called ipaudit but havent got around to it yet. Thanks for all the replys everyone :) This board keeps on rockin!!!
