What happens when you try to wrap the username in quotes? (change %u to
\"%u\")
You're probably getting tripped up because you're trying to use a space
as the separator between %u and %t. But if the Time is wrapped in square
brackets, then you can cheat a little bit by using the [ as the
separator:
LOGFORMAT (%S %j %u[%d/%M/%Y:h:%n:%j] etc, etc)
In this case, Analog will treat everything between the 2nd space and the
[ as the username. Note that this will mean that the Username ends in a
space, which might cause some problems with USERINCLUDES and
USEREXCLUDES.
