Hello, I just started looking at pmacct/nfacct to use in an upgrade to our 
billing system. After using it for a while I've found that it is reporting, 
quite often, completely invalid values for in_iface/out_iface. I noticed that 
the interface indexes didn't exist at all on our routers. To make completely 
sure I didn't screw something up I recorded ten minutes of traffic aggregated 
with nfacctd and also recorded with wireshark. The original data, which is 
netflow v5 coming from a juniper mx480 running junos 12.3R6.6, contains no 
references to the interface indexes that nfacctd says it is seeing. Here is my 
configuration:


plugins: print
aggregate: peer_src_ip,in_iface,out_iface,src_host,dst_host
nfacctd_renormalize: true
nfacctd_disable_checks: true

print_refresh_time: 300
print_history: 5m
print_output: csv
print_output_file: /data/netflow/sites/originals/netflow-%Y%m%d-%H%M-%s.csv
print_output_file_append: true
print_history_roundoff: m
files_umask: 002

# listen on the netflow port
nfacctd_ip: 127.0.0.1
nfacctd_port: 5557

I have the wireshark traces and the CSV files that nfacctd wrote. I'm really 
quite confused as to how this is happening. Thanks for any pointers. Otherwise 
this software is exactly perfect for my task and will ultimately save me a lot 
of time that I would have otherwise spent trying to decipher IPFIX when we 
finally get around to upgrading to that.
