accounting in syslog

[Luo, Frank Y.F. Mr.]

thanks. will do some research. But I guess I can not send this as syslog entry to a syslog server, right?

Also about the username, you are right on the Mac address - I misread it - but I do see unreadable accounting log like this one in the packet. Is this something fixable at NAS?
