For aol just block access to the login servers.

Login.oscar.aol.com ( it used to be this )
For Yahoo, it much more difficult, and time consuming. You will also
inadvertanly block access to some portions of the yahoo website.
I used a sniffer and my PC to see what servers that YIM logged into. I
would
block the one I connected to, and then restart the sniffer and the
software.
It took about 8 hours, but I managed to block YIM. Of course that was
after
they told me it couldn't be done :) Yahoo made a bad mistake telling me
that.
ICQ uses TCP 6667 If I remember correctly. Since I have only allowed
certain
traffic through the FW, It was already blocked.

It takes time to get it figured out, but these programs CAN be blocked.
If
nothing else, just deny access to all of yahoo, but inserting a bad
yahoo.com in your domain server!

Thanks

Larry

Hello Cisco people

We are using Web Sense to block most of the Sites that we feel necessary
but
have had problems with programs like AOL, MSN, ICQ chat programs. So I
am
going to stop this at the PIX and was wonder who out there had blocked
Chat
programs in the enterprise, and methods used. I fully understand the
steps
needed to block what is needed on the PIX but was wanting to hear horror
storied or problems you might have encountered. I would also like to
know
what sites (address\protocols) you had to block to stop these programs
because some are http based. (AIM, MSN,ect). For those of you who have
applied rules to the inside interface of the pix, did you notice any
performance issues or any other problem related to having all outbound
traffic filtered?



Thank you


Thanks
