Ok, tried that, and it is certainly closer to what I am looking for  
than it was. Still not quite there though. Actually, the first thing  
that happened is that it completely hosed my OpenBSD install- I  
couldn't run nano or the Nagios CGI's. I think, however, that was  
actually the fault of the graphviz install rather than nagvis itself.  
As far as Nagvis goes, the automap feature looks good, with a couple  
of exceptions. First (and most importantly) it doesn't show all my  
hosts. It behaves as though there is a maximum parent depth it will  
display or something. I'm not really sure what's going on, but  
significant portions of my network are not displayed. Secondly, it  
does not appear to be editable. As I mentioned, I am looking for  
something where I can simply drag and drop hosts to position them. As  
far as I can tell, this is still not an option in nagvis, even with  
the standard maps.

So, anyway to solve these issues with nagvis? Or perhaps some other  
front-end that hasn't been mentioned yet? Thanks.
