Dansguardian - log files? Find one user's internet history?

[Miscbrah]

Hi - we use Dansguardian as our proxy, and I was hoping someone capable could walk me through the process of extracting log files for %user% from it. I've no idea how it works but in the boss' absence I'd like to look into a certain student's access history.

 

Can anyone hold my hand, if this is even possible?

 

Thanks for any help.

for a fairly brutal approach:

1. Find the dansguardian log file (still called access.log? cant remember)

2.

grep  logfile.log >/tmp/username.log

 

that will get you everything that user has done from that logfile into /tmp/username.log

 

it will overmatch a bit

Thanks, I'll give that a cack-handed go.

the log file is at /var/log/access.log.

 

Well it is on my system anyway.

Does your proxy require authentication? If not, then the log will only contain IP addresses and not usernames.
