Thanks for the response. So that is great to hear that it is doable. Does anyone have a way to actually do it? I need a practical example that I can use. Sorry but I have absolutely no Perl hacking skills whatsoever. Has anyone done this?
Thanks in advance!

Most people are using some sort of ssh daemon on the leaf box, which would happily copy a file to local storage, so it probably takes just a little hack to add this to shorewall_stats.pl cheers Erich ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
