Re: Concurrent users logged in

[Joel Taqueban]

The 'netstat ....' did help but how do you show those users or IPs who are currently connecting via the proxy (i mean , 1 user = 1 ip  which has currently open HTTP/FTP connections)?

Try

netstat -na |grep "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:yyyy" | cut -c45- | cut -d':' -f1 |
sort | uniq | wc -l

where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip number of your proxy machine and yyyy is
the port number it runs on.
You may have to fiddle with the cut values to get what you are looking
for.
It is not very accurate but will give you an idea. Hope it helps
