[Plug] graphical load monitor

[Darxus <darxus@op.net>]

My boss, who's been at a couple of the PLUG meetings, is interested in
trying a Linux Samba server.  But he wants me to document how to secure &
monitor it first (as if this is done for any NT box here).

As far as security, I expect the following to be far more than sufficient
(and be way more secure than any NT box on our network): 

1) use ipchains to restrict all but samba & ssh connections
2) install tripwire
3) remove all server programs not in use

I am familar with all 3 processes.

For monitoring, he basically wants a Linux equivalent of NT's perfmon
(Performance Monitor). I think he basically wants to see cpu, memory, and
network load over time, in a GUI (he used the word GUI when stating his
requirments).

Now, I've written a perl script that uses stuff in /proc to display load
over given intervals (in plaintext, similar to vmstat), and I could
probably add cpu load & memory usage somehow, and then plot it with GNU
Plot or something, but I'm wondering if there's anything that already
exists that would do these things for me and not make me build it myself.
