Re: [squid-users] ident_lookup?

If ident_lookup_access says ident should be done Squid will attempt to
do so, but unless you also make use of ident acls in http_access then
Squid won't neccesarily wait for the ident lookup to complete and
will only log the user ident if the ident lookup finished before the
HTTP reply is completed.

A trick to force ident lookup completetion without actually making use
of ident is to add a dummy http_access line that cannot be true

acl ident ident REQUIRED
http_access deny ident !all
