It's sysutils/gkrellm. GKrellM has been around for a very long time.

Thanks, everybody. Gkrellm just comes with one default skin/theme and it's not very nice looking. That's one of the glass skins from the collection at muhri.net. It comes default with several plugins in the OpenBSD package.

Thanks for the info on gkrellm. Just installed it. I like it.

This is the basic setup I use for my servers at home- load up freebsd 9.0, VBox, then install multiple OpenBSD virtual machines on them.

I do this because I like role separation- I can have two firewalls, two DNS/time/radius servers, a file server, and five to eight experimental servers all running on two physical machines; they all run OpenBSD.

It would be probably even more fun when FreeBSD team with the help of NetApp will complete BHyVe

agreed! It may take awhile, but it looks good! Can't wait for OBSD images and AMD support

I know Theo's opinion on virtualization, but as BHyVe is BSD licensed maybe some day it will even find a way into the OpenBSD base

I do not think that a firewall should EVER be anything but a physical machine.

A virtual always gets its network traffic from the host's network stack. If your firewall is a virtual, the firewall's physical host is not behind it.
