In my company, everything goes through a Corporate filter as well, but there's been too many times when I've seen some sites go through that I know shouldn't. Having a proxy/filter setup locally, I am more able to fine tune things for this facility than Corporate is able to do. And, when I come in during the morning and go over my reports and see a website that was accessed, I can clamp that down in 5 minutes, without having to go through the redtape and the delay of going through someone else, who may or may not be too busy to get it done that day. Another advantage of having something setup locally is that you're able to CYA. Meaning, you can provide some protection for the local users whereas your District supervisors may not be as forgiving for some violations. It'll also prevent you from getting blindsided by them asking you out of the blue about certain activity that you might be unaware was taking place. But, I suppose it's all up to whatever you feel more comfortable doing. <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:jconlon1@elp.rr.com">jconlon1@elp.rr.com</a> wrote: <blockquote cite="mid1b9fa81b8f0c.1b8f0c1b9fa8@texas.rr.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">I agree that these things would be helpful locally however in our district everything goes through a district server which has all kinds of blockers. What has happened is that a student found stuff that wasn't in the district blocked list deliberately which is why I was looking for an easy way to get the history from a given acount. We can send the history to the district and they will block thise sites.

Squid is extremely easy to setup. For the WebFilter, I'd recommend using squidGaurd. Again, that's very easy to setup. You can download an already premade "blacklist" that will block out the porn sites. Also, you should setup Webmin and install SARG (Squid Access Report Generator). This is also easy to setup. You can configure it to automatically generates reports for you each night so you can adjust your blacklists appropriately. I am a novice at Linux, and was able to get that setup and going in just one day without any problems. Plenty of documentation out there on it. John P.
