You have to have an RFC 931 Compliant ident server running on the windows box. Win98 doesn't have one by default. The username only gets reported by an ident server, logging into a Domain doesn't do anything with reporting to squid. Here's what I mean:
When a user requests a webpage, squid turns around and requests the name of the user logged into the workstation which requested the page. The workstation can only reply if an ident daemon is installed. If such a daemon is installed, then a reply of the logged-in user is sent, and squid can act upon it as necessary. For an ident server, checkout identd.sourceforge.net I've been using it on my win98/winme workstations and it works wonderfully with squid/squidGuard.
