Hi all, Is there any documentation on /proc/net/rt_acct? What''s it useful for? What do I need to get going to make it record anything? Do I actually want to? :) Thanks, Joel

My rt_acct file doesn''t have any entries, but the headers in the utility look like it''d be useful. Do you have to mark routes in a special way to get them to be accounted through this, or something like that? Thanks, Joel
