I agree with that statement in that sense of accounting.  I was under the
impression he was looking for traffic accounting either out of curiousity,
troubleshooting, or for SLA issues.  Good point though - so Elmer what type
of "accounting" are you reffering to ?

A poster pointed the list to NTTacPlus just a few weeks ago.

It all depends on what is meant by "ip accounting".  Tacacs+ and Radius are
used within the aaa implementation.  Authentication Authorization Accounting

I am experimenting with the above program now and I can:

see when you logged in/off
see if you tried to start an exec
see what commands you gave while in exec
if dialin - how many bytes were transferred

and I'm just getting started........ there is lots more......

Unfortunately as far as I can tell - the data is raw.  i.e. you'll have to
suck it into a spreadsheet and massage it as you will.

However, it can also log to an obdc/sql database - then you could do
queries.

I think the Cisco tacacs server has canned reports but I have not looked at
it yet.
