Hi All, Trying to setup some IP accounting with ipac-ng. I'm running a small LAN (around 30 clients) and I'd like to count how much internet traffic each LAN client uses.
I've looked at all the alternatives I could find (ntop and iptraf being the closest to what I want) but I think the one that suits best is ipac-ng. My setup is as follows: - LAN of approximately 30 clients - Internet gateway running Debian 3.0 with a custom built 2.4.18 kernel - Iptables firewall on the gateway with IP masquerading in both directions - Ipac-ng running on the gateway So I've installed the ipac-ng debian package and it works, but I'm a little dismayed at the lack of good documentation. I want to do accounting for every machine on my LAN, some Googling brought me to this solution... ipac.conf: # # for total traffic, eth0 is the external interface # Total Traffic Incoming|in|eth0|all|| Total Traffic Outgoing|out|eth0|all|| # # for each client, 10.0.0.2 is the gateway # LAN Client 3 Downloads|in|eth0|all|!10.0.0.2|10.0.0.3 LAN Client 3 Uploads|out|eth0|all|10.0.0.3|!10.0.0.2 ... and so on. Problem is, only the totals work, ipacsum gives me zeroes for all client statistics. I'm not so confident about the above rules, can anyone clarify or correct me? Also, does anyone know of some good documentation for the ipac-ng package (free or otherwise)? The web scripts that are installed with the deb package don't work for me either, even after extensive messing around. Any advice anyone? Thanks in advance. Regards, Lucas
