What are you trying to do here? Allow only port 5050? > > but i am still able to log in to the chat client The location of the acl in your squid.conf is important. Squid processes the file top-down. If you have enabled http access (either explicitly or implicitly) to yahoo chat before ( ie above) the chat-blocking acl, squd will allow access. BTW, have you configured yahoo messenger to actually use the proxy? Regards, NMK. -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
