HOW DOES IT WORK?
ipac consists of two scripts (shell and perl) and one C program:
* ipacset reads a configuration file and sets up ip accounting for the kernel using ipfwadm or ipchains
-* fetchipac, executed from cron once in a while, reads the current ip accounting data assembled by the kernel
-
and writes it to a new file
+* fetchipac, executed from cron once in a while, reads the current ip accounting data assembled by the kernel and writes it to a new file
* ipacsum(8) summarizes the data from a set of files and, optionally, replaces these files by one. It displays the values as a simple table containing the sums, as png graph pictures or as ascii graph pictures.
