unless you're using proxy authentication, squid does not log by user, it logs by client IP address. if you enable squid proxy authentication, or if the client IP address can be traced to a specific user (e.g. you have static IP addresses for each client on your LAN, or dhcp assigns the same IP to the same MAC address each time) then you can track each request back to a notional user - i say notional because sometimes people use someone else's workstation. users with a bit of a clue can even wait until they know another user has switched off their workstation and then assign the same IP address to their own workstation - browsing the web with all logging being recorded against the IP address belonging to the other user. similarly, password security is sloppy in many offices (because most users absolutely refuse to believe that securing their password is at all important), with people sharing logins/passwords or writing their password on sticky notes and attaching it to their monitor. even if you manage to solve all the problems noted above(*), and write/modify a script to email reports to your boss, your boss will receive reports that are many megabytes in size. almost certainly he will not bother to read them. even if he does bother, it sounds like he will not bother learning how to interpret what he is reading, so there is no point. (*) the easiest way is to just lie and pretend that these issues are not a problem. this is what most log analyser programs do. the fact is that both web and proxy logs are useful only for telling you how much load the server is under. anything else is just guesswork, which is OK if you understand that it's guesswork, but dangerous if you believe that it's "the truth". craig -- craig sanders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fabricati Diem, PVNC. -- motto of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
