Hi all,

I've searched these forums as well as Firefox's site, as well as searching on Google Linux but can't find what I'm looking for.


In a nutshell, I want to keep a log of my users' browser history so that even if they clear history or set Firefox to not keep history, I can still view a log of what site they have visited.

My hope is that I can write a script(although I'm a BASH newb it would be a nice little real-world project for me to attempt) that would keep info such as user,visit date,ip of visited site, just the basics. A great feature would be for the logs to be emailed to me for inspection but that isn't vital if I can navigate to the log myself.

For all I know this is already available somewhere in the log folders I just can't find anything.

If it helps I'm running Mint 9 Isadora and Firefox 3.6.12


Looking forward to some advice,
Skwz

You can use a proxy

Kind regards

Previous poster is correct. Proxy is the way to go.

To elaborate a bit,.. you can install a proxy on the local machine, and point firefox/IE at it, and log all of the traffic.

Thank you both. I will look into a proxy.

Check out Untangle. it does more than web proxy. Of course, you will need a separate box for it.
