Probably it's not a bright idea to invade upon your user's privacy by trying to see
what they are doing whether during office hours or off. If the internet laws are
strict, you might get sued in a court of law.
It is far better to remove the user level network programs and keep only the essential
ones owned by a separate group. Any user allowed access to Internet can be added to
this group. Or if you have dialup make your select users members of the same group
which owns the dialing device.
If you are determined you may hunt in the messages and squid logs to find out which
pages have gone to which hosts and the users logged into each machine at the time.
I've had requests to even probe into user's netscape cookies files. Maybe you can
develop some cookie based identification system if it does not already exist. In any
case all this is _NOT_ recommended. It is probably far better to simply lay off an
employee without reason.
Hope that helped,
