We have 100Mb broadband Bl**dy hell!!! really?!?!

ain't it sweet ;)

What are you using to see whether a user has visited a site, what is your reporting tool? Our users authenticate with the proxy, and that is what tells us what they've been doing, and controls their access.

Actually to be honest I doubt if anyone asked we would know. That is all down to our esteemed leader! I expect there is some proprietory RM utility that is inherently complicated to use. The linux part would be my responsibility, thats why I'm making it a bit more of a priority! I could I suppose authenticate each user, and then use a linux based proxy just to sit my internet clients behind, and do all of the logging on that? Dan

Well currently we don't have one! At least not on site - Each client has

an

ip in the range 10.112.44.x with the proxy being at a remote site. It all seems to work quite happily though. . Someone told our head of it that our proxy would be slowing it down (which I had my doubts about but still...) so we had the upheaval of changing it all about so that each client talked directly to our broadband providers proxy.

I'm not sure that the way you have yours is suitable for us though. Let me clarify:

I need to be able to say that user x did/did not look at the site www.somethingdodgy.com I don't want each user to have a "Windows account" and a "Linux Account" so want to be able to use the username/password from the win2k domain. for both. It is each individual user that needs to authenticate.

cheers,
