RH 9, running squid and Dan's Guardian. How to block port 80? Students are bypassing squid and getting strait out to the net. IPchains was set up originally, but has lost it settings and know does not want to work.

If your internet router is a Cisco 831/837 or upwards, you could implement WCCP (WCCP is in the Wiki Pages). WCCP is not supported on the 827, 806 or downwards. That would then mean that if the students are bypassing the proxy, they would still be going through the proxy. In fact you won't need to configure proxy settings on each client. -----Original Message----- From: Terry Cole [mailto:terry(a)cole.gen.nz] Sent: Monday, 15 September 2003 17:46 To: Wlug Subject: [wlug] port 80 RH 9, running squid and Dan's Guardian.

Why use the WikiWord for a Wiki page on the page itself?
by Glyn Webster 12 Sep '03

12 Sep '03

Why are mny people using the WikiWord for a Wiki page on the page itself? For example the COBOL page has four [COBOL] links it it. I can't see the point. Is there a cunning reason for doing this that I've missed, or is it just habit? -- Glyn Webster ~ Simplicity Himself. ~ glyn(a)wave.co.nz ~ http://tiddly-pom.com

How do I contribute something to KDE?
by Glyn Webster 12 Sep '03

12 Sep '03

I've written a Kate (KDE editor) syntax-highlighting file for Ocaml, and I'd like to contribute it to KDE. What's the most painless way to do this? I don't want to join anything: just hand it over with an explanation of what it is and what it's good for. -- Glyn Webster ~ Simplicity Himself. ~ glyn(a)wave.co.nz ~ http://tiddly-pom.com

Wiki for beginners
by Craig Box 10 Sep '03

10 Sep '03

Hi everyone, I've been doing some tidying up of the Wiki (our web site) lately, with reference to the comments about beginners being lost. The home page has been rearranged so that it's (hopefully) a bit more obvious where to start. The sidebar has been shrunk a bit too (thanks Perry) so that the backlinks are more prominent. This way, you see not only what the current page links to, but what other pages link to this concept; a really good way to learn what connects to what in the world of Linux. I'd like to encourage anyone who thinks they qualify to look at http://www.wlug.org.nz/NewToLinux, and add suggestions/hints/whatever they need to get the information that you want to hear, on the wiki. (People normally add what they learn, which is why there's a lot about the newer things, but not as much about learning from the ground up, because most of the regular authors did that many years ago.) As a note, debates that are off topic for the mailing list might very well be on topic on the Wiki; please remember however it is another public face of the incorporated society so standard graces need apply.

My 1cent worth. I belive, rather then up the bandwidth, telecom should allow ISPs to operate thier own full rate portals for ftp. This will be off more benifit then upping regular bandwidth!
