[squid-users] acl ident_regex

[Chris Wilcox]

Hello again all,

Been having yet another read through the ACL types I can use within squid.  
Does ident_regex allow pattern matching on the entire string returned from 
an ident lookup? eg if I have an altered version of an identd server running 
on a client PC, and this returns (amongst other things) username and client 
PC hostname, would it be possible for ident_regex to look for a certain 
hostname within the returned ident string?

If not, is it possible to pass the hostname info (or if need be, all the 
info) from the ident query to an external ACL type and use this to 
allow/disallow access to the cache?

If I can suss out access control via hostname then I will be a very happy 
bunny (or other small fluffy animal)!

Regards,

nry
