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.
