hi all,

theres also darkstat - it should be in ports
http://dmr.ath.cx/net/darkstat/

its claimed to be smaller and faster than ntop (i liked it anyway..) - 
but either way, if you're going to be running traffic profiling on the 
firewall itself, expect at least a little bit of performance degrade - YMMV

another one i thought was cool is symon, but it doesnt really give you 
any granularity - just total stats per nic.. it does have a 
collector/sensor model, so less overhead if you dump data to another 
host (snmp is probably better..), and will monitor cpu/ram/disk/specific 
process activity - its neato
also in ports or in http://www.xs4all.nl/~wpd/symon/
