Yep, Squid will do the identd lookup and pass this to the external ACL we
write. As far as possible we really want to use what is already in
existence and has been tested. So far the only thing we need to do that
doesn't exist within Squid is check a custom identd string. Something which
I wouldn't expect Squid to do anyhow!

There is a webpage for the entire projet which I won't post on this list but
if people 'are' interested I'm happy to reply offlist.

Thanks and regards,
