As far as i know it isn't possible to do nettfilter-based-accounting with an NIC in Promisc mode - it's based on the fact that you have to route = packets to use netfilter (otherwise netfilter doesn't make sense ...) On the other hand I've developed an Target for netfilter-based-accounting for our routers that is running stable since 2 1/2 Months, where = I've permissions and will to release ;) (but I've to apply some patches and to set up an cvs before) If you want to get an "prerelease" - just mail me ;) > = > i cant't find any info in the docs, i only find patch for iptables-1.2.= 3 > on > http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/sebastian.zander/pr= ivate/netfilter.html > = > thanks > jakub urban regards Rolf W=FCrdemann Wieske's Crew KG PS: perhaps I'll should set myself an "dead-line" to release, so it will released sometimes (and not in 23 years ;)
