    Thanks - I was searching for username and getting nowhere. Also, thank
    you for the clarification regarding ipfw2/ipfw and their current state.

    I notice that the traffic accounting per uid only applies to traffic
    initiated by that user, and initiated from the local machine. If I scp a
    file away from the machine (as user X) the traffic does not get
    incremented, and if I scp a file to the local machine (as user X) it also
    does not get incremented - even though those are non-anonymous actions
    that occur under the auspices of a particular username.

    Doe anyone have any suggestions for traffic accounting (of particularly
    ssh traffic) on a per user basis, for _all_ traffic that occurs under the
    auspices of that username, and not just what _they themselves_ initiate,
    personally, in their own login shell ?

    Thank you.
