What's wriong with a GUI like CentOS?
It's not relevant to Squid. Thats all. Squid is controlled either via command line or the cache manager web requests. Monitored via log processors, which usually create web page reports. All the GUI interfaces to Squid are locatio independant and may as well be viewed via the web from an external admin workstation/laptop.
Can user logons be used with squid? eg give someone a logon like their email address?
Usernames can be anything your authentication system allows. "Basic" authentication scheme uses @ symbol for special purposes, so it can't use emails, but other auth types are not limited that way.
Please read the FAQ: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidAcl http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/Authentication
Can the delay_pools be used with email addresses?
Delay pools available in Squid-3 can be based on username. Whatever the authentication system allows.
see: http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/delay_parameters/ and other related delay_* settings. Amos -- Please be using Current Stable Squid 2.7.STABLE6 or 3.0.STABLE17 Current Beta Squid 3.1.0.12
