Hello :)
I am looking for an IP volume bandwidth accounting
package to track
user and/or workstation usage on a small network.
The accounting software is intended to be installed
on the firewall.
The network has the following simple architecture:

The problem is the monthly ISP download limit (20
gb) for this network
constantly gets reached before the next billing
cycle, so there is a
need to encourage people to be more responsible.
The requirements (in order of priority) are,
(1) Generate a report or summary of network volume
utiltisation to
from each workstation and/or network interface
(2) Monitor network traffic for times of peak and
off-peak activity
(plain ASCII, graphical chart or written report
(doesn't matter))
(3) If necessary, track websites or
external/internal IP connections
made from a particular workstation
I quickly browsed the info on ipac, nmap, Cacti,
MRTG and Squid the
other day and was wondering if I was on the right
track.
I think MRTG requires SNMP, but there are no such
devices on this
small network. ipac is old and the official source
doesn't support
2.4.x kernels (IPChains).
Thanks !

Slightly related, well it is multi-channel {:-), but does anyone have
any experience with using a DEC Storage works array under dual linux

1) can it be done?
Yes. It's a filesystem issue, not specifically a host issue,
Generally the storageworks units I played with left a lot to be desired
in comparison with the EMC gear. I wouldn't buy one or recommend one
to a client, however if one's fallen into your lap it may be a fun
toy, and better than a stack of yellow sticky notes from a storage
point of view.
Thanks Del. Much useful information appreciated.
Yes, it fell into my lap. I suspect is is a very basic model. The most
useful thing was that it had a full complement of hard disks and i think
some spare hard disk and power units, so I can play with software raid,
although I/O isn't going to stress anything.

[SLUG] Automatix/EasyUbuntu and kernel upgrades
In Ubuntu, Automatix/EasyUbuntu can be used to install a range of things which
are not normally available in the distribution. If I use one of these scripts
to install something which interfaces with the kernel, what happens when I
receive a kernel update and reboot? For example, if I use them to install
Nvidia graphics drivers, will X be wrecked after the kernel is upgraded?
I am not so worried about my own systems (I can take care of myself), but I am
concerned for the ordinary users for whom I have installed Ubuntu. I don't
want them all calling me every time there is a kernel update to complain that
they can't get graphics.

[SLUG] Curve fitting in spreadsheets
First of all, I'd like to thank Jeremy Anthorp for his nomination and kind words. I reason I couldn't accept his nomination is that I've enrolled in a Bachelor of Science degree at Sydney University, mostly concentrating on advanced maths subjects. That's been keeping me pretty busy. I'm also doing physics and chemistry - and both of these subjects require varying amounts of analysis of numerical data. In physics we use Microsoft Excel to analyse numerical data we collect - including determing how much uncertainty is in the result and a line or curve of best fit for the data we have found. To give you an example, in the first week we took the distance of all the planets in the solar system from the sun and the periods of their orbits and used them to test Kepler's Third Law. Intermediate steps required included plotting a log line and adding a trend line to the graph - complete with the trend line's equation and a correlation coefficient. How would I accomplish the same task using Gnumeric or Open Office Calc? Failing that, how would I accomplish the same task using some other sort of free software tool such as R or Octave? The above task took me a few mouse clicks in Excel but I couldn't find a way to accomplish the same task in Gnumeric or Open Office Calc easily. Neither of them seem to have a LINEST function, for instance. Thanks in advance.

A nasty solution, but have your considered running Excel in WINE? My brother
needs certain Excel plug-ins for statistical analysis, so he uses Codeweavers

You will find most of the software installed by Automatix and Easy Ubuntu is done by adding a repository to your sources.lst and apt-get'ing. Such as adding universe and multiverse, nvidia-glx will be updated with the kernel. Not sure how EasyUbuntu handles the ati drivers though, that could be an exception. I have used Automatix since early on, and have now used Easy Ubuntu lately as well. I have had no problems at all with upgrades, however I have not yet done a dist-upgrade to Dapper, this may cause problems, but from what I have seen watching the scripts run, if anything does break, it will only be something minor. If its for a newbie, My advise would be to install Ubuntu and use Automatix or EasyUbuntu, I have done it for a number of friends and haven't had any problems (and they always keep upto date with updates). If at some stage you want them to upgrade to Dapper, make sure you have tested the upgrade on your own stuff first. Basically its all pretty good.
