Hi all,

We are offering cable internet services, we are required to log every users which sites they visited on what specific time. I can enable NCSA authentication so that every one will required to log there user name and password, but for some reason we cannot require users to do so. Now is there a way to log a client cable modems mac address so that we will just create a simple program to match the cable modem mac address to the user name. In this manner there is no hassle to clients and at the same time we can log ther activity and identify them.

Not sure if this could be done:

Squid can use only MAC address of machine connected on the same physical lan (or IP broadcast domain). This is an ARP protocol limitation.

Guido
