Summary doesn't do Unique Visitor counting. It does unique visit (i.e.
session) but that's a different quantity. If you want to use the auth
user field as a session indicator (there's still the 30-minute gap
rule, so it should work pretty well) you will need to make a custom
log format in your settings using SESSION instead of USER. See the
"User specified log formats" section at the end of
http://summary.net:7000/~demo/docs/log_formats.html.
