Monitoring traffic per user

Hi,

My boss asked me to monitor web, mail and MSN traffic *per user* to hav=
e=20
weekly statistics.

What tool or process would you recommend me ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Warm Regards

Hi,
my 2 cent:
Web statistics per user might be done by an authenticated proxy like
squid and scripts.
mail statistics per user might be done by the logs of your imap/pop3
server and scripts.
MSN: i have no clue for per user logging.

I think grepping from iptables -v will do. Separate chains for separate=
=20
protocols, then you can even build some RRD graphs out of it.
This is the "in-house" approach.

I've used ipfm in the past (http://robert.cheramy.net/ipfm), it works=20
ok. It should know about pcap filters. It has some sort of html=20
generator available somewhere too.

Cheers,
Adrian.

If by "per user" you mean "per PC", you might want to look into
pmacct:
