accounting
Hi
What would be the correct method for like accounting programs for like a 'pay as you go' internet.
Basically keep track users bandwidth usage, time etc.
For the guys in the ISP market, what or how would you guys go about this, or am I doomed to use a commercial product like Checkpoint or something.
Im hoping iptables has / can do something.

I'm not in the ISP market, but about a year ago I installed IP accounting software on a server to see how it works. I looked and found ipac-ng and iag in an old download directory but I can't remember which one I got working.. The latest versions of both packages are not recent (2004, 2005) but at the time I got one of them working.
Maybe you can do something with the below :
ipac-ng: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=28513
ipac-ng (howto): http://martybugs.net/linux/ipac.cgi
iag: http://dev.lashout.net/iag/ (Needs Sablotron)
Really, I don't remember which one worked and what the results looked like so I hope this is of any use.
Grts,
Rob
