ipchains question

Hello all,

I am putting together some accounting for my ADSL connection
and would like advice to make sure my rulesets are working as I
intend them to work.

In my firewall script:

# Create an accounting chain to count traffic over ppp0
$IPCHAINS -N log-ppp
$IPCHAINS -A log-ppp -i ppp0

# Set the first rule in the input chain to detect anything going
# over ppp0 (Internet) and flick it to the accounting chain
$IPCHAINS -A input -i ppp0 -j log-all

Do I need to grab anything else? Or will this catch everything going
in/out over the PPP connection?

TIA,

Antti
