Whoops that was sent accidentally before I could clean it up:


            hits                     files                    
Kb                  visits                      username
1         2487 0.84%       2139 0.78%     10785 0.81%         29 13.00% 
            user1
2         227 0.08%         226 0.08%        7545 0.57%         5 2.24% 
                 user2

0.45%                 user3
4         72 0.02%           46 0.02%          98 0.01%              1 
0.45%                 user4



Squid config for auth is:

auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/pam_auth
auth_param basic children 5
auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server
auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours
acl xpassword proxy_auth REQUIRED
acl all src 0.0.0.0
acl filter url_regex "/etc/squid/banned"
# This allows me to block advert sites and tracking sites such as double 
click.
http_access deny  filter
http_access allow xpassword
http_access deny all

Kind regards
Xander
