I've been trying to get pmacct to ingest data from DD-wrt's rflow daemon. It
seems like it should be netflow V5.

Anyone have this working? Did you change the router side? Or have a config
file for nfacctd.conf that works?

Even tough it's not strictly related to "DD-wrt" and "rflow", it might be
worth noting that last month I've been _SUCCESFULL_ in porting "pmacct"
(1.6.2; actually the 'pmacctd' daemon and the 'pmacct' client) to OpenWRT.

Actually, the TP-Link WDR4300 that is currently providing my Internet
connection (via an USB 3g-dongle), is running _TWO_ instances of "pmacctd":
one binded to the "ppp" connection; the other binded to the LAN/WLAN bridge.
I'm "dumping" flows every minute (via a cron-job) to an USB flash disk,
attached to the same WDR4300.

It's working like a charm!!!

I've tried to document the building process quite detailed, here:

"Technical people tend to fall into two categories: Specialists
and Generalists. The Specialist learns more and more about a
narrower and narrower field, until he eventually, in the limit,
knows everything about nothing. The Generalist learns less and

nothing about everything." - William Stucke - AfrISPA
