Are you using Excalibur, by any chance?  Those stats are from Excalibur, 
not from NT itself.  The 'last' command in FreeBSD tells you about user 
login times.  It is possible to count traffic for users, but there is 
no 'standard application' to do it, and it depends on how the user 
actually connects (there are two ways of doing ppp).
