I'd like to use this to gather some statistics about which users log in most frequently etc. What's happening though is that when a user logs into the site and continues browsing through it, the z2.log keeps logging the user as "Anonymous". The only time this changes is when I use the ZMI and in that case the log lists the user as 'admin'.

As I understand it, if an object is anonymously accessible, Zope skips 
the authentication / authorization process.  A logged-in user might as 
well be anonymous unless they are looking at an object which requires 
authorization.
