However, you can analyze where someone is "going" on the net much more easily using a packet sniffer like tcpdump. However, this sort of issue is a management issue, not a technology problem. If the employee is getting their work done and meeting their deadlines, there probably isn't a problem worth pursuing. Otherwise, the issue is that this person isn't getting the work done, and whether they are surfing random pages or wasting time in some other fashion doesn't particularly matter.... -- -Chuck
