Need to record & report mulitple logins when using Active Directory and IIS 5.0

iis security: Hi, I have a website using Active Directory on Windows 2000 Server to
authenticate users. I turn on local audit policy to logon events. I
also use Cybersafe Log Analyst to give me a report of logins but here
is the problem, my users share accounts to give them access to
different parts of the website. When users sporadically log in using
the same account name the audit policy only logs 1 login even though 3
people log into the site from 3 different computers minutes apart. How
do I log these users and am I using the right logging/reporting tool?
Any information or explanation would be great.

TIA,

You want to track logons but you let people share user id's? How do you
expect that to work?

For example many users have their own usernames but three people share
one account called "library". I still would like to count how many
times library logged into my website. The authentication happens the
first time they log into the site so I was wondering if there was a
way to set auditing so that it would record each successful login.
Maybe there is an authentication timeout period that could be set to 1
minute? Right now it only records the logins if there is a long period
between logins > 20min.
