It will appear in access.log, and available using the ident acl in 
squid-2.5 or ext_user in squid-3.

Thanks. Could u describe more on how this username deal with the ident acl?

When we define the ident acl, isn't that means squid will do ident 
lookup (rfc 931)?

If that is the case, would squid do the lookup if helper program already 
returned the username?

Did I messed the whole concept up? :-)
