This was posted under "Configuration", sorry for using such a generic name but I was tired at the time.Hi Adam,
How would I go about tracking duration of usage and downloading of data by a specific user.
Identification would likely be by using login/pass for proxy, or just terminal login and ident.
The proxy will be used in a kiosk environment, where each person can use it and then be billed for time used/data transfered.
If information regarding both these statistics can also be provided to the
user, it would be good :)
There are quite a few good pieces of software around to analyse log files from Squid.
pwebstats is all written in Perl so you can hack away at it and make it your bitch:

I would also reccomend taking a look at sourceforge.net as I recall some projects going on there at some point.
