As John says, it's really not possible to figure out how long someone
stays on a website. Right at this moment I have 9 Netscape windows open.
All you can say for sure is that someone went to a site. For that Squid
is excellent, and there are log analysers you can use to print out a
formatted report of usage. Might be hard to track down a particular user
if you're using DHCP though..
Donncha.
