Hi all,

I am a new comer to linux and would like to ask for some help.. 

My aim is to keep track of dial-up users' connection time and data
transferred.  My current system setting is:

Cisco router 2511 as the gateway (with internal ppp-encapsulation &
username/password checking feature), IOS 10.3 (8), 16 modem lines, a
BNC interface to our LAN.

BNC LAN with 2 Windows 95 clients, 1 Linux 2.0.12 server for www, ftp,
mail servers & a Linux 2.0.4 sever for primary DNS server.


The main problem is dial-up users directly got verification thru' the
Cisco then out for the Internet, without passing thru' the Linux
server.  I did a lot of research about this and found a protocol
called X/TACACS/+ for a Access Server could keep accounting record in
this case but I cannot find a workable version for Linux..

Should I switch to pppd/linux ?  But I also cannot find the relevant
docs about setting up pppd server for modems over LAN from a Router..

Also I found a xtacacs-linux.tar.gz from
Sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/systems/Network/admin.. but cannot compile..

Any comments or help is highly appreciated....
