If not 100% sure but I think if you require authentication of your users 
you will see the usernames in the logs. The easiest way should be using an 
ident daemon on the client computer. Then all requests contain user 
information.

I guess any modern Linux distribution has something like a personal 
firewall. For obvious reasons :-) I'd recommend having a look at openSUSE 
10.3 and checking out SuSEfirewall2. The basic configuration should be 
straight forward for most situations. Of course you would have to 
configure Squid as well.

Another distribution worth looking at could be IPcop. But I have never used 
it myself.

Regards,

Peter
