.... as these "restrictions" commonly about certain very well known pictures :-) just let me add a small comment to make it easier. squidguard is working fine but based on a blacklist. Dansguardian is better, it searches for certain key words. But some sites you need to exclude like common mail sites. Some people simply happen to use bad language in their e-mail :-) Both not perfect - but in Dansguardian you may include the blacklist from Squidguard, and you got yourself a pretty good filter going :-) When allowed, and who really wants to read these banner adds, install adzap redirector to squid. All these well known banner redirected to a 1x1 clear gif on your server. Not downloading these browsing speed like doubled. But make sure there is enough RAM on your machine :-) With dansguardian may exclude certain file types like exe, reducing the mess at some workstations. With squid can also limit the max size of file. Mike _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
