I really need help with this one.  I need to know if there is a way
to closely monitor how much a user downloads over a ppp connection.
At the moment I have pppd logging out to a file in which it dumps 
the amount downloaded, time online, etc...  Then i tried using
pppParse to read it, but it craps out when the file is too large
and i can't make the file any smaller.

Firstly, has anyone done this and knows the best way to find out
the total bytes a person downloads each week/month/whatever?

Is it possible to have pppd dump the logs out a different file for
each user?  That way i can write a simple script that totals the
rx bytes for me?

I'm desperate for an answer...

TIA

no one is around to hear it, is he still and idiot?
