I've been using m0n0wall 1.23 for about the last month and I noticed that the In/out packet counters (under Status: Interfaces) appear to reset back to zero.  Do these wrap after 32 bits or something?

Yes, its something that happens in pretty much all oses.
Mine just reset again

The only way to get good record is to have a script add up the totals and keep a seperate log of them.

Is this something that could be added into m0n0wall...like a built-in log that keeps track of the totals?

Yup, its something that could be added to monowall.

For me its not really important since most ISPs keep track of your usage anyway.

they're 32 bit counters, so they wrap at 4 GB.
