Yes I am trying to limit what people can download for three reasons. 1) We have a training room with internet access. I wish to allow browsing but not downloading. Because of the programs we are training people on; it is hard to limit their permissions on the pc.
2) I also have the usual people who insist on downloading screen savers and other programs that drive me nuts. 3) I have customers that won't allow internet access to their employees because of reason number 2. DansGuardian is located at http://dansguardian.org/?page=introduction In short it does say it can filter by mime type and file extension. Any other comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

You want to stop desktop users from downloading executables? I've never heard of "DansGuardian" however i kinda doubt that there is any perfect solution since an executable is nothing more than a permissions bit on a file. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J Friedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Step-by-step & TyGeMo http://netllama.ipfox.com _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
