My company has a client that is insterested in a proxy server, and has us a few questions. But I am a bit confused on a definitive answer.
The questions are: Does it track the hours that users are on the internet? Does it track the sites that users go to? Does it create a log at the end of that month so that they can see all of this information? Does it block Instant messenger applications? Now my first thoughts are yes to all, but I dont want to sound like a fool if I am wrong on the hours bit. I know it can block IM's, and creates the logs tracking users(would be using NTLM), but would rather set it up so they can get daily logs. A bit easier looking up a daily smaller log, than a great big one at the end of the month. But as far as logging hours? I dont see it in the access.log when I look at mine. I can see what user tried to get to what site. But is there a way to track hours?? I havent spoken to the client, just our salesman. So I am kinda wondering what they mean. I am very new to squid, and have my ntlm box running great. and am now just playing with more of the options in squid. But as far as those four question go, I am unsure the exact answer. so if anyone can tell me if I am wrong about, just let me know The salesman was good though, and didnt tell them that it can do it. This was just there main concern. I dont even want to know if they need filtering and dansguardian yet. I am still working on getting that to work. Hopefully I'll get that going with ldap. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo! DSL - Now only $29.95 per month! http://sbc.yahoo.com
