The

super

user has access to all menus. The

usr

user is shown a menu, upon sucessful login, with the items chosen

in the user’s profile. The

pppauto

user is connected directly to the user via PPP. No menu appears. The

auto

user

is connected via telnet directly to the host specified as host 1 in the user profile. If an

automatic login name

is indicated

when the auto user is configured, the user is logged in to the remote host directly (though a password may be necessary,
depending on the remote host configuration).

IP Accounting

IP Accounting is used to count the total number of packets allowed (or not) to pass through an interface. Statistics
are given for packets that meet the criterions defined in a rule. (Traffic Rules are not supported). To see all
packets, a special rule list permitting everything can be defined. Rules are described in chapter 12.

Two versions of the IP account table are available for viewing. The result of INFO =>SHOW ACCOUNT TABLE
=>SUMMARY is shown below for four filter rules.
