    11. 

  11. <p>This section covers a few tricks on pptp server management. It is far from a complete guide. Any suggestions are welcome.</p>
    12. 

  12. <p>The packages <strong>psacct</strong> and <strong>SysVinit</strong> are required for the utilities used in here. They should be installed by default. If they are  not, please install them through yum.</p>

    18. 

  18. <p>To check who is online, the &quot;last&quot; command is used:</p>
    19.

    20. 

  20.   <pre>[root@pptp ~]# last | grep ppp | grep still

  23. <p><strong><em>last</em></strong> is from SysVinit. It reads the information from /var/log/wtmp. </p>
    24. 

  24. <p><strong>Note:</strong> for <em><strong>last</strong></em> to work properly, the logwtmp option in the /etc/pptpd.conf must be enabled. If you are sure there are pptp connections but see no output from the above mentioned command, check the logwtmp option in the pptpd.conf file is enabled. </p>

  46. <p>The <em><strong>ac</strong></em> command reads the information from /var/log/wtmp. It has a lot of options. Read the man page for details. </p>

  49. If you want the statistics from older version of wtmp, use the -f parameter in &quot;ac&quot; to specify the file. <br>
    50. 

  50. 2. If users use shell to log in the server as well, the ac will return the connection time of both pptp and shell connections.

    54. 

  54. <p>To disconnect an active connection, you will have to kill the pppd process associate with it. Firstly, run the command in section 16.1 to find out the remote ip address of the user. Say you want to disconnect Mary, her ip address in the above example is 1.2.3.4. Then, find the PID of the pppd process.
