+I would also love to see Freeside support bandwidth billing by reading the
+Cisco NetFlow Accounting data so we and other ISP's could automatically bill
+co-located servers and even potentially other virtually hosted sites like
+MUD, Palace Chat, IRC Chat, etc based on the bandwidth they use or average
+sustained rates or whatever. I'm not much of a programmer so I don't know
+what all this entails but I did download a NetFlow client agent/whatever for
+Linux though.
+ .
+It would also be nice to see Freeside be able to read Apache log files and
+bill customers for web traffic that way as an option also. Plus an option to
+bill for excessive disk usage without having to use quotas if you didn't
+want to, would be a nice feature as well. So you could monitor with a script
+or something to see how much disk space a user was using then get some
+average and charge a certain amount for anything above some preset limit for
+that account type. I might be able to hack something like this up, but I'm
+not 100% sure where to start or if there is something out there that could
+be modified or not.
+.
+Do you think that you will ever support the HKS CCVS (Hell's Kitchen
+Software Credit Card Verification Software) since Red Hat bought them out
+and is going to be including that for credit card processing when you buy
+the professional version? What about possibly supporting the OpenCCVS which
+is a GNU/GPL version of a credit card program? I haven't had time to comb
+through the Freeside code to see how hard it would be to add support for
+these as externally called programs.
+.
+Also any thoughts on help desk, and knowledge base stuff? Any thoughts on
+this stuff, and how possible and what kinds of work or time frame would be
+involved?

+ The links above are your best bet for basic cvs server configuration. Once you have a pserver set up, you
+ may consider using cvs via ssh. All you need to do is the following:
+
+ 1) Have ssh and sshd set up on the client and server machines
+ 2) Set CVSROOT="joe@example.com:/home/ncvs"
+ 3) Set CVS_RSH="/usr/local/bin/ssh"
+ 4) Use cvs normally
+ (Obviously, insert the proper host/paths above)
+
+ You can also set up cvs/ssh to not need a password every time (similiar to an initial 'cvs login'):
+
+ 1) run ssh-keygen on client machine using no passphrase.
+ 2) copy/add ~/.ssh/identity.pub on the client to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server
+ (man ssh for more details)

+sql1992.txt standard is 18 character column names. shoot for that, not just
+32 (postgresql default)
+
+Also note that (AFAIK) Freeside won't display any package that has more
+than one service on the "Add Customer" page. The reason for this is
+because there's no way to dynamically alter the displayed html form
+based on which package is selected. One possible solution would be to
+make an additional page that's used in the signup process that would
+display the form for each package, like a MS-style "Wizard". The first
+page lets you select the package, then the second page has the custom
+form with fields for each service in that package and a save button. Of
+course, that would require a little perl work.

Your suggested script with back up /usr/local/etc/freeside, but will miss
any database not named `freeside'. Both of our scripts are specific to
MySQL. If you're interested in contributing to Freeside, maybe you could

+(workaround for postgres before 6.5) (unlikely to ever be implemented)
In the mean-time, this could probably be fixed with the reverse of
the kludge in FS::Record::new. This removes `$' and `,' from money fields
coming out of the database. Something which fixed up the data so Postgres
