You can't change that much, but what you can do is that the first request they make after successfully logging in gets redirected to a disclaimer page. This is done most easily using the squid_session helper distributed with Squid. Configuration examples included in it's documentation. > I have found > references to using the redirect options but that doesn't seem like > the proper solution to me.

I have no opinion on which alternative you should use. Depends on your environment and requirements. > and read the news for 30 minutes that go to slashdot and read the news > for 10 minutes.

HTTP does not allow tracking what the user actually does, just what pages his browser fetches and when. From that data it's possible to approximate viewing behavior such as how long the user stays on a given site etc, but you can't really tell the difference between opening a page and reading that page for 30 minutes and then viewing another page via bookmark or similar, or opening a page and immediately closing the browser, then opening the browser on another link/bookmark some time later. You also can not track which window/tab the user is actively reading, or if the user is actually reading anything at all..

But if you track based on Referer header then it's easier to tell the sessions apart. Unfortunately I have no concrete advice on tools for this as the times I have done it it's been using custom made scripts for the desired information. Regards Henrik
