Re: Program to monitor employee internet usage

[Miguel Bolanos <miguel () hostarica com>]

Greetings Mark,

Indeed there is a nice solution for what you need on Linux,
Setting up squid as a transparent proxy, and using for example Sarg to 
create the reports will do the trick for you. Take a look at:

http://www.squid-cache.org/
http://sarg.sourceforge.net/sarg.php

have fun.
best wishes

Miguel Bolanos.
