Squid, Windows clients, RFC931, oh my.
Here's the scenario.
I have a Woody box running the Squid web proxy server, with the
oh-so-nifty Squidalyser log analyser doohickey and it's working fine,
serving Windows clients. The Boss is pleased.
However there's a small fly in the ointment. Squid can look up RFC931
idents from clients. Squid can, with the aid of the smb_auth module
(which is included in the Debian package) authenticate against a Windows
PDC.
I really really want to tie these two together. I want Squid to do Samba
magic to get the username - or at a stretch, the NETBios name of the
client box - and stuff it in the logs.
I know there is a freeware ident server for Windows, and I know it works.
What I'm trying to avoid is installing something on the thick end of 200
boxes just to get a username out.
I've Googled. I've read the RFC. I'm all searched out. I can't find
anything about this - but I have a sneaking suspicion that someone, out
there, has already met this problem and has dealt with it with more
fortitude than I.
Ideas?
Take care,
Peter.
