List,

A quick question re: squid. How easy/hard would it be to put a usr/pass
combination to prevent access to the Internet from the corporate LAN?
Well it's not really to prevent access more to assist monitoring usage.
Currently usage is recorded as host names which in a Win$low environment
is too easy to compromise. My thoughts where to put a usr/pass to the
Internet with a suitable management policy in place to the effect that
"you" are accountable for "usr" usage on the Internet. This is all due
to a change in ISP where we are now charged 18c/Mb.

Sorry for the short notice but I need my ammo/armour by COB as the mtg
is tomorrow.

Thanks,
