Hello admins..

First of all, sorry for the delay, but I'll explain that later..

Thanks to many people who kindly responded ASAP.

This was my original question..

Filtering many responses like "you can't" this is what i received..

1.- Use "nnstat".
        This program does traffic account per IP, not per user in a host.

2.- Use "NeTraMet"
        excellent program, but same as (1).

3.- Use "Socks"
        This doesn't come in pairs (ha ha). This is a multipurpose program
which is mostly used as a firewall, but can do logging(Accounting),
 Authorization and Autentification. So If you don't want the firewall part
just configure it as a bypass and log the rest.

This can be found in the web site www.socks.nec.com in which I downloaded
Socks5 version (the best) to try it out. I am installing a New machine
for this so I don't have a straight answer for my own question, but
Due to that I have received many queries about this SUMMARY, I decided to
post a pre-SUMMARY :)

I want to thank everyone who responded.

bye,bye
