Hello,

In reply to David Vincezetti's query:

I'm also a FW1 user and concerned about it's disabilities in accounting
and logging mgmt.

I have seen a demo of Xacct. In my view its major disadvantage is that
it can not give an accounting information on a per user basis. (In my
FW1 I use the user authentication feature, and I thought that a product
like Xacct, which is an add-on to the FW1, should have this ability).

What it CAN give you nicely is the protocol distribution of your
link utilization.

Q: Has anyone tried Netscape HTTP Proxy ver 2.0 ? It should have
the abilities I'm looking for, namely: User authentication (according 
to an internal database) and also logging and accunting (each users 
connection is logged including timestamp, user name, source, 
destination,and amount of data transferred).

Thanks
