You can also just define a time-based ACL with "acl foo time" in Squid.

We've got Squid set up to require user authentication for everything. It checks credentials against our Active Directory, and does NTLM authentication so most users never even know it's there. Most web activity thus includes the username in the logs. We do have a few destination sites that are exempt from authentication, mainly because they're used by software that can't handle the concept of proxy authentication. They'd have issues with any proxy. Reporting is handled by the "webalizer" program, which makes pretty graphical reports of the most frequently-requested and biggest-KB sites and URLs, time of day, day of month, day of week, and user. Not too bad for the price (free). Squid can't do everything, but it does a lot, and that is often enough. I expect initial configuration is a bit daunting, but the sample config file is pretty well documented. I can share relevant parts of our config file if someone is interested in a particular aspect. -- Ben ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
