Although I am no proponent to monitoring users activity while in the privacy of their own homes, I do think that Internet access at the desktop in a office environment can quite easily be abused resulting in lost revenue for the company. Is anyone familiar with an open source solution to tracking clients' web activity? I know of a number of M$ platform apps that will do this but want to put Linux on the desktop. I also know that I can use iptables to drop packets not destined to a particular site so I could make a list of approved sites and have employees request site approval but this is only deny/grant rather than knowing the user spend 4 hours on CNN reading articles etc. Plus, if the smokers can spend 15 minutes loading their lungs with soot three or four times a day I don't see why the others shouldn't be able to fill their minds with recreational web surfing for 30 minutes a day.
