I would like to see some clever logging facilities. I would like a log with a single line for each connection, recording the name of the connection, user who connected, the time of connection, the length of the call, and the reason for disconnecting (user killed pppd, root killed pppd, modem hangup), and the cost. So, it might look like this: provider edward Jun 2 14:20:00 1800 user £1.20 Is that easy to implement? Where would I start? Maybe include the number of bytes transfered in each direction. I think to be done properly it needs pppd to be hacked about a bit, or can it be done in the ip-up/down scripts? I want to know how much my phone bill costs before it reaches me. Would it be easist just to try and phrase the current ppp log. -- I consume, therefore I am
