couple things, if you have intelligent switches(who doesn't these days!) you can run MRTG on the ports for each user and get ALL the traffic for them, then you can pass the MRTG data to something like http://www.geocities.com/josef_wendel/mrtg_total.html <- that to count the bytes sent/recieved sample: http://portal.aphroland.org/~aphro/mrtg/combined.router.serial0.total.2002.html (what can i say, i like the pretty graphs) you can also run an accounting problem like ipfm(IP Flow Meter I think its called). which is debianized. its pretty simple to setup(but theres lots of ways to customize it). Sample output: # IPFMv0.11.4 2002/09/07 00:00:00 -- dump every 0d01:00:00 -- listening on eth1 # Host In (bytes) Out (bytes) Total (bytes)backup-nh.mydomain.com 416447786 8939817 425387603192.168.100.82 2734815 124684576 127419391gumby.mydomain.com 571193 288380 859573 mail-nh.mydomain.com 212918 302810 515728source.mydomain.com 146260 286652 432912 192.168.100.255 212234 0 212234dev-nh.mydomain.com 41232 123288 164520 there may be a more robust log processing package for squid here: http://www.squid-cache.org/Scripts/ (though I run squid, I have never looked into what your trying) I would expect that if you were to turn on authentication with squid (something else I haven't tried), that there would be a way to get stats per user.. or you could setup accounting rules on the firewall for each ip, but I think the ipfm stuff would be easier to setup&maintain then accounting rules for each ip. no point in accounting for an ip that doesn't generate any traffic! nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
