Hi,

I'm trying to set up squidGuard so it allows access based on ident
(rfc931/1413). I have a mixed LAN with Windows 98 and Linux PCs. I'd
like to allow unrestricted access for some users , while restricting
access (based on both urls and time of day) for anyone else (including
anyone I can't identify).

First I had to recompile squid from a source rpm with
--enable-ident-lookups because the squid supplied with Mandrake 10.1 is
compiled with it disabled.

I've set up ident on a client and verified that it works by SSHing in
and then using netcat to access port 113 and ident the SSH connection.

I first tried simply inserting

        ident_lookup_access deny all

into squid.conf. This didn't work. After some googling I tried instead

        acl rfc1413 ident REQUIRED
        http_access allow rfc1413
        ident_lookup_access allow rfc1413

which works, but now I can't access it without identd running on the
client. I realise that ident is worthless a Windows 98 client, but I
will simply restrict access where ident is unavailable. Essentially I
think the problem is how to require an ident query, but where one is
unavailable to redirect to squidGuard anyway.

Any ideas?
