+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

There's no way to do this currently, though it would be pretty
straightforward to modify the source - specifically, the _collect_
subroutine in FS::cust_main.
try to fix that soon; in the meantime you can add the invoicing email
address afterwords.
-Postgres `money' time sucks rocks anyway. I'll probably just require 6.5
-and use the numeric types, which *finally* work right.

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
