Squid comes bundled with a ext_sql_session_acl helper that looks up a database and produces OK/ERR (and username for logging) depending on whether the key given to it exists in the DB already. <http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v4/manuals/ext_sql_session_acl.html> You just need to get an UID metric. IP address, MAC address, and/or EUI-64 (IPv6 link-local) are suitable there. It sounds like your packetfence would be a good way to populate that DB too. > > One plan I had would be to add/remove entries in dns or hosts for users, > eg IP address 10.2.3.4 -> hostname fbloggs (the user's login code) so > usernames would show up in the client hostname field, but squid caches > these I think. Yes. Dont do that with DNS. Amos _______________________________________________ squid-users mailing list squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.squid-cache.org/listinfo/squid-users
