I think a perfect trio is made from ipfwadm as firewall (soon ipchains) + bash
shell as a primary trimmer for the data reported by ipfwadm + mrtg as a HTML
report generator (http://ee-staff.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/mrtg.html).
You can do almost whatever you want with these tools; knowing shell programming
is not such a hard task, and a little HTML programming "to please the management
people" you can do in as little as 30 minutes.
That's our way, and we're quite happy with it.
