Thanks for this info. I was trying to find some time to do this for
a while but never managed to do it. Not to mention I didn't even
think on MAC accounting. After you guys mentioned mac accounting I
found short perl script on Google which makes MRTG config files
and everything is working nice :)
Thanks again for all your help.


Have nice rest of day.
