Use last last (or ac) for time logged on, and /usr/sbin/pppstats for total amount of bytes downloaded (and/or uploaded). Depending on the number of users, you can exercise various options for compiling, consolodating, and reporting monthly activity for each user. If you don't have too many, you can just echo "<username> <duration_in_minutes> <bytes>" >> /blah/accounting after each connection os closed and parse/total the ASCII using a simple script. Lots of users would make that a fiarly unwieldy file, though. Kevin
