Topic: how to read the log file?

[thefishguy]

Hi,
the sme server is working great for me as a firewall and proxyserver.
but when I try to look at the squid access log to see what site the users visit.
the logs look like this:
1102345521.400    342 192.168.2.6 TCP_MISS/200 11854 GET http://www.yahoo.com/ - DIRECT/66.94.230.48 text/html

how do  see the date of the log entry?also,where do I set how many days the system should keep the logs?

Sorry if my question is too simple.I was using MS ISA server.
Thanks in advance.

Install both the above rpms and let it run overnight.  Will create reports on a daily + Weekly + monthly basis.

thanks cc_skavenger

how do I make it run every night or is it already configured as default? I don't find good user manual for it.
thanks.
