Sonia, I can't see how you could really pull something that off without some serious application level proxying. there are SOCKs proxies that are pretty good - you can plug most non-web and mail apps into them. then you need to account web and mail traffic seperately and compile it all. let me know if you find anything. thats a difficult problem.
dante is the SOCKs proxy we have used in the past for this sort of thing. then you just lock everything down, disable netaccess to everything but the SOCK, web or smtp/pop proxy and hope it accounts everything. - does it have to be /etc/passwd? dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sonia Hamilton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > I've looking for a package that allows me to do per-user accounting (ie > bandwidth used for each user in /etc/passwd for different time > periods/protocals/etc). Any pointers to a package I could use? -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
