>Description:
I'm the developer of IPA and am the maintainer of IPA port in
the FreeBSD ports collection: ports/sysutils/ipa.
Now I think that it is time to add IPA to the NetBSD ports
collection. IPA supports NetBSD, OpenBSD and FreeBSD, but it is
present only in the FreeBSD ports collection.
Here is short description of IPA (content of the DESCR file):
======================================================================
IPA allows to make IP accounting (network accounting) based on
IPv4/v6 Firewall (FreeBSD only) and/or IP Filter accounting rules
on NetBSD, OpenBSD and FreeBSD.
It supports limits for accounting rules and limits events as "limit is
reached", "reached limit is expired", etc. It understands time intervals
like "end of day", "end of week", "end of month", etc.
There is special viewer for accounting database and access control lists,
which allow or disallow one to view accounting information for rules.
======================================================================
NetBSD port of IPA came from FreeBSD port of IPA, but I made some
changes and add second patch (patch-ab), for gensysinfo script, because
not all NetBSD users have kernel source.
You can download gzip'ed tar-file of my port from:
