While trying to track down some odd behaviour on one of my servers, I
happened to use ALL ON. Even though I don't have a User field defined on
that particular log file, I got a User report with the following header:

"This report lists the users who requested files, if users have been
authenticated or can be identified by cookies"

And sure enough, the report contains a bunch of "users" with
ASPSESSIONID and WEBTRENDS_ID cookies, but the most common one is
"language=fr;from0=par".

I can't find any mention in the documentation about this, or any way to
control it. I know I can write a custom log format to do my own User
report based on a cookie, but I don't usually bother. But if Analog is
going to interpret the cookie field anyway, and I could just tell it
which part of the cookie field to use, I might make more use of this
feature.

And while I'm at it, the same log file has a lot of querystrings that
start with SessionID=<some number>. For some reason, I can't get Analog
to display any of these strings in the Request report. In fact, it looks
as though any query string that starts with <name>=<number> seems to be
ignored in the request report - that is the query string itself isn't
displayed, just the actual file request without a query string. I've set
the REQFLOOR to 1r, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
