How to set up net-acct with ppp?
I've come to an absolute standstill trying to get the net-acct package
to work on our ppp dial-in server. nacctd wants a series of files that
have the mapping from usernames to IPs in them.
The documentation has a couple of little scripts for slip, but I am
using mgetty with ppp, and I cannot see how to get mgetty (or pppd) to
create the user/ip files, let alone remove them when the clients
logout.
I suspect that I'm overlooking something very simple.
All the dialin clients have /bin/false as a shell, and the mgetty/ppp
setup is pretty close to that provided by the debian packages. There
are 32 lines into the server, running through a Comtrol RocketPort
card. There is an IP associated with each rocket port.
I really only care about accounting the data volume each user
generates, as the standard accounting (sac, ac etc) gives the time
component.
