Hi Indunil

Yes. That did help quite a bit. I had actually seen the link before from
a google search - but hadn't studied it properly. It certainly explains
my "forbidden" problem. I think I found a missing step though. The step
by step instructions do not tell you to make sarg.cron executable - so
the cron job wouldn't run until I corrected this.
It still leaves me with a few queries though:
1) I would like to be able to see what traffic flowed between (say)
13.00 on 13 June 2008 and 14:00 on 13th June 2008.
I haven't found a way to do this yet. Is it possible with Sarg? I am
trying to find out what causes occasional large traffic bursts.
2) Is there some more complete documentation somewhere? The man page
refers to documentation in the "GNU info format". Where could I find this?

Regards and thanks

Richard.
