Logging visited sites by dial-in user

Hello,

I've setup a dial-up server at home, but for security reasons I want
to log all URL's visited by the dialed-in user.

I have snort installed, but it seems to only record the IP address and
packet info. I don't really need the contents of packets, just the
URL's visited.

If Snort doesn't do this, any suggestions on other apps that will?
Thanks,

Alex.

Run a proxy server and you can log more then you want:

Good luck

Remove +SIGNS and www. if you expect an answer, sorry for
inconvenience, but I get tons of SPAM

Dear Alex,
set up a proxy server, give all dial-in-users an
own account, let them authorize to use the proxy for surfing
and there you have your user-info in your proxy-log :-)
Cheers,

And Alex, if you have a lot of web-frontends to your servers
then consider using Monzai :-) and have a look at our
live-demo at http://www.monzai.com/
