I remember that ipfw had been augmented some time ago to do traffic
counting, etc., based on usernames ... but I see no mention of that in the
ipfw man page on my 5.4-RELEASE system.

Is this something that only exists in IPFW2 ?  Does ipfw2 even exist
anymore ?

Can someone clarify for me what is going on with regard to what used to be
called IPFW2, FreeBSD 5.x, and per-user traffic counting ?

thanks.
