Well, in fact, I was wondering:
1. What is the purpose of the $user_id macro in authpf rules?
2. Is anybody using it successfully?
3. Is it possible to use it to track per user traffic?
Thanks if you read this and help me :-)

Hello list !
I have been using authpf for years now, and it has worked flawlessly
so far.
Reading the latest man page (to stay up to date), I saw that authpf
can fill the $user_id macro with the user's ID.
Wow, it sounds cool, but I cannot see any real world example of this
feature...
I would say, this could be a good way to account each user for its
usage, as stated in the man page:
"
This, combined with properly set up filter rules and secure
switches, can be used to ensure users are held accountable
for their network traffic.
"
But I cannot find any example or documentation for that...
Hmm, I would really like to have this wonderfull tool with pfflowd on
my network routers :-)
