I modified Cacti for a client years ago to give clients password 
protected access to just their info, show 95% info, and it told the 
hosting company when the MySQL database was getting so large they needed 
to back it up and move it off-line. It's all pretty hackable.

If people want that so much, perhaps I should play around with it again!
