Business case? What do you want to track? There is a last_login field. Or are you thinking about tracking the state of the process pool, like apache's scoreboard? i.e. like: child_state one of [IDLE,CONNECTED,RUNNING,WAITING, ... ] child_command the running POP3/IMAP/TIMSIEVED command user_id login of connected user user_bandwidth accumulated data flow accounting per client_id user_connected_since start of current connection this could then be translated into well structured logging aimed at (or at least usuable as) accountability. This data should IMO not end up in the database, or rather not in the database as first choice of destination. Lets first create simple and straightforward textfile logging, or syslog, or whatever. -- ________________________________________________________________ Paul Stevens paul at nfg.nl NET FACILITIES GROUP GPG/PGP: 1024D/11F8CD31 The Netherlands________________________________http://www.nfg.nl
