Does it use the whole Cookie field as the User name? When I looked at the report I got the impression that it was making a guess at which part of the cookie field it should use, but if it's just treating the whole cookie field as %u, then I'll try to play with some USERALIAS commands to tidy up the output. And you might want to mention this explicitly in the documentation. You do hint that the cookie field can be used for %u, but I've only ever done this before by creating a custom logformat. If all I have to do is figure out an appropriate USERALIAS, I might pay more attention to this. >> And while I'm at it, the same log file has a lot of querystrings that >> start with SessionID=<some number>.
