My question is as to what methods people use to manage and monitor the
underlying Unix operating systems on the firewalls. SNMP doesnt seem the
best thing to be running on the Firewall itself so how would people suggest
that i monitore the OS

Quite easy: SSH with distributed keys plus some simple shell scripting.See e.g. http://www.wyae.de/aslcheck/ for examples. Main advantage isthat you won't need to install anything (fancy) on the system in question.
