375.0. "Usage Accounting" by PRIMES::UEBERSAX (aka GRANMA::KUEBERSAX,D-341-2779) Fri Mar 10 1989 09:00

    
    Our government contractors are required to account for computer
    usage on their contracts.
    
    They typically use their own accounting programs that
    run upon login and logout.  (VMS accounting is typically not enough
    to satisfy the government auditors.)
    
    DECwindows workstations present a problem for them with new ways
    of using local and remote resources.
    
    Is anyone addressing this issue?
    
    Thanks, Kris.

375.1Computers? We use _networks_SDSVAX::SWEENEYRoads? Where we're going we don't need..roadsFri Mar 10 1989 13:2911
    As time goes by people won't be using "computers" they'll be using
    "networks".
    
    Metering and reporting all usage of all resources on a network-wide
    basis would likely have a material impact on the network itself.
    
    Perhaps the place to go into detail on what your accounting
    requirements are is VMSNOTES or DECNETVAX for VMS, ULTRIX for ULTRIX,
    and DNA for Digital Network Architecture issues, but this isn't limited
    to DECwindows.
