G'day,

We have a low volume ADSL connection to our three-client home office network, run 
through a RH 6.2 server. We have ntop running to monitor network traffic, and the 
ISP is warning us (using some rather suspect tools) that in a week we have exceeded 
our month's allocation. Although I can move to the next plan up, which doubles the 
allocation, even this would be inadequate, and to get a plan for the claimed usage 
would be prohibitive. Although I don't have a problem with legitimate office use, 
some of the ankle-biters are downloading MP3s, movies, and staying logged on to 
hotmail, MSN messenger and ICQ for long periods of time - I suspect this is where 
most of the traffic is going.

So: is there a way that I can allocate a certain amount of the monthly traffic limit 
to various logged-in users? In other words, person A logged in on machine 1 (an NT4 
client) has a defined traffic limit for the month?
Best Regards
Edwin Humphries
