Nick,
What I am wanting is a way to get the total bytes in, bytes out that a
particular ppp user has used and log that. I would think that the best
place to implement this would be in pppd. ie. pass more parameters into
the ip-down script or whatever. This is a tidy and integrated approach and
I guess should not be too hard to implement in pppd.
But besides I would like to look at your scripts.
Thanks
