Hmmm. As per my other posts, that isn't strictly true: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_log_config.html"%l Remote logname (from identd, if supplied). This will return a dash unless mod_ident is present and IdentityCheck is set On."
So, if you install identd on Windows, and then enable mod_ident in Apache, Apache knows (on a trusted network) what username you're logged into Windows as. All modern OS's have identd services.
