Hi! I want to do the same with ipchains (2.2.19 kernel).
There is a debian package (can�t remember the name) which inserts more ipchains rules into the ruleset. The packets go through these rules unchanged, they�re just counted. The problem is that with ipchains, I would need quite a lot of rules to count for 256 connected hosts individually, and in addition to that to count the volume that costs us and the volume that doesn�t cost (university-internally) seperately. The problem with using the iptables counters is quite the same. net-acctd seems to count for each connection seperately, not by host, so you have to build sums yourself out of the logfiles. It doesn�t have to insert lots of additional ipchains-rules, but, as you mentioned, might count wrongly, especially under high load. Is there a better documentaiton for the naccttab syntax? I�m afraid it is far too unprecise, and I can�t try everything out. Any other ideas or docs for net-acct? Thanks, NOrman.
