In 4.2.0 the login username is also logged in xferfaxlog (exactly for 
the purpose and reason you describe).

clientlog isn't deprecated, but you have to enable it in hfaxd.conf, 
and it tells you about file transfers, not jobs, so matching up jobs 
with file transfers could be difficult.

Try 4.2.0  (beta1, or better yet, CVS).
