I can appreciate that, just do not allow access to port 3000 from outside. OTOH opening port 3000 and showing the staff ntop in action and telling them that there is now an externally visible real time monitor of their entire Internet usage is a _*great*_ deterrent to misbehavior. I had this running for some months and as far as I know nothing untoward happened. btw, I did this on a school's machine and one of the students turned so pale I thought he was going to faint. :-) > Shane > > ________________________________ > > From: Christopher Sawtell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Fri 25/02/2005 1:16 p.m. > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Hello and a question re IP Accounting statistics > > On Fri, 25 Feb 2005 11:56, Shane Hollis wrote: > > Any ideas on what is the best way to log this kind of traffic volume by > > individual lan ip address or user log on, especially using IP Cop.
