DESCRIPTION
===========

This little perl script analyses your net-acct log file and draws a
year-traffic chart.
You can run it multiple times over the same log file to get a daily
updated chart.

PREREQUISITES
=============

Perl of course and the pgperl package (so you will need pgplot5 too).
A good idea is to have net-acct running... or how ever you get a log file.
Each line of the log file must match:

    /^(\d+)\s+\d+\s+(\S+)\s\d+\s+\S+\s+\d+\s+(\d+)/;
        |             |                        |
       time       source-ip                  bytes


GET IT
======

Download it from this site:

Wed Jul 24 2002 v0.1 - naplot-0.1.tar.gz
Thu Jul 25 2002 v0.2 - naplot-0.2.tar.gz

INSTALLING
==========

After uncompressing put the naplot.cfg in /etc/ and naplot in you favorit
directory (I suggest using /usr/local/sbin/). Then edit the /etc/naplot.cfg
file to match your needs - you sure will have to create one new directory
for the statefiles!
Finally you could put a line to crontab, so the chart is updated daily.

KNOWN PROBLEMS
==============

None at this time.
