BTW, since I forgot to explicitly mention it previously, squid does
support login based browsing with several authentication methods
available. I've never seen a sarg report from a proxy with
authentication in use but with the volume of data I know squid logs and
the volume of data in the sarg reporting it is entirely possible it will
have what you need. I *know* it has every access by IP and/or machine
name.
