Yes, and you do it the same way you'd do it for any other machine on the network - you tell it to use your Squid proxy. For Netscape / Mozilla select <Edit><Preferences>, then single-click the triangle to the left of <Advanced>, scroll down and select <Proxies>. When you input your proxy information try it with http://127.0.0.1:3128 first. If that doesn't work, use whatever you've used on other boxes in the network (to point them to the proxy).

A unix machine. When my kids use netscape on that machine I want to block porn or whatever. Can I do that?
