[Netacct-mysql-users] no detailled logging...

[Stoilis G. <st...@th...>]

Hello, I have a problem with netacct NOT logging the traffic after 
working perfectly for 2 days. My configuration:
Ethernet Card: 3COM 905C-TX
3c59x: Donald Becker and others. www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html
02:09.0: 3Com PCI 3c905C Tornado at 0x1400. Vers LK1.1.16

My networks consists of several subnets(10.0.0.x, 10.0.1.x and so on)

OS: Suse Linux 7.2, custom kernel 2.4.16

A router in my network forwards all traffic (0.0.0.0) to this server.
This server does transparent proxying with squid, so ANY traffic 
destined to the internet passes right through it.
Then, it forwards any request to my border router with the serial link 
to the internet.

I am using netacct-mysql-0.73rc4 with MySQL 3.23.37.

More details about the problem:
summary traffic is updated correctly.(traffic table). The accounting 
table is not updated at all or is updated with strange lines like:
84 10:52:41 2002-02-26 0 17 0.0.0.0 68 255.255.255.255 67 2 676 unknown 
eth0 0
I can see that the dump files has the correct entries in it when I view 
it. I can assume that it flushes it correctly since after grows to some 
kilobytes and then it empties it.
I have raised the debug level but I could not understand exactly what to 
look for in the debug file.

what is more strange, is that is worked for 2 days and then just 
stopped... I even tryied completely erasing the configuration file and 
then just using the default one, changing only the subnet ip it was 
supposed to monitor.
here it is: (/usr/local/etc/naccttab)

database mysql
mysql_user acct
mysql_password acct_password
mysql_host localhost
mysql_database netacct
mysql_table accounting
pidfile  /var/run/nacctd.pid
compactnet 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0
flush 1
fdelay 60
file /var/log/net-acct
dumpfile /var/log/net-acct-dump
device eth0
ignoremask 255.0.0.0
ignorenet 127.0.0.0 255.0.0.0
debug 2
debugfile /tmp/nacctd.debug
headers tr      40      38
headers lo      14      12
headers isdn    4       0
headers eth     14      12
headers plip    14      12

Any ideas? Any suggestion would be most helpful...
Thanks in advance.
