Topic: sarg.conf template

[Nick Slayton]

Dose ant one out there know how to mdify the sarg.conf template to report user names ibstead of ip addresses,

i have already copied the template to the template custom folder and as far as i could tell i had to change

#user-ip no

to

user-ip no

then i expanded the templates

the problem is it is still reporting ip adresses instead of the user names

i have the user acounts set up on the sme v5.1.2 but not using as a domain controler and its using dhcp to the network

any help would be apreciated

To see user names, you should authenticate your user with squid.

If all you want is to know who went where, you should:
1. link netbios names to dns
2. resolve fqdn in squid
3. use sarg defaults

For 1, you could assign static ip with hostnames panel or install dhcp-3
2 is a simple change to squid config

I'd write an howto, but it's still hard to find time
If you volunteer, I can help you.

i would be happy to help write this howto as anything that will help me understand this wonderfull piece of software more would be very much welcome.

there is also other things like how to exclude certian users from the report
