A sidewinder G2 firewall is pretty much useless without a maintenance
contract, if you do have a contract, you can always ask these questions
of their (very helpful) customer support desk.

The commands you are looking for are Sidewinder-specific and are
covered in detail in the manuals, e.g. "acat" and "showaudit".

Unfortunately the standard HTTP proxy included with Sidewinder does
not (yet, we've asked for this as an enhancement) record useful event
data about users and which web pages they visit. For that, you need
to either switch to the Webcache (a version of Squid, deprecated and
soon to be removed from Sidewinder G2) or license and use the
Smartfilter
and SmartReporter add-on packages.

While Sidewinder is built on a variant of BSD called "SecureOS",
the product is quite unlike FreeBSD or any other open-source BSD.

It may be best to think of the G2 as a black box appliance, as you
can't do much with the underlying BSD, at least not if you want support
;-)
