E-Smith is not transproxy enabled, as far as I now. Transproxy is an
additional module someone (Charlie Brady? Are you the author, aren't you?)
wrote to redirect all web requests through Squid transparently, without the
need to configure every browser on every client machine.

It's needed to be certain (well, more certain than not) that the clients use
the squid proxy, that in turn is filtered by squidGuard...

If I understand well, Transproxy consists in an additional config fragment
for ipchains. Anyway, if you load the Matthijs .htm instructions file in a
browser, you'll find that the links to the various packages are active and
will bring you to the download sites.

If you want more updated filtering databases, you can overwrite the
squidGuard package ones with the blackists.tar.gz available at the
squidGuard site (www.squidguard.org).

Actually, I lied. It is there. (Hint to self, don't look in the i386
directory for a noarch rpm!)

Don't know of open source one, but Igear from Symantec is really good, but
very expensive. It will run on an e-smith box no problem with just a few
alterations.

(disable squid, put a symbolic link in so it loads at start-up and install
Charlie's transproxy rpm. You also need to make it run on port 3128 which
can be done in its own web manager.)

Thank you very much :-)  That was excellent information!
Also, there is mention that transproxy is needed.  Do you know

Darrell, don't forget you will also want e-smith-transproxy to redirect
web requests via squid. I'm not sure if this has been tested on 4.1

Sssh, don't tell the Australian government :-)http://www.efa.org.au

Seriously, the only way to attempt content blocking is to have a "White" 
list of allowable sites. Which makes the web somewhat useless. 
Someone needs to maintain this list and add "appropriate" sites.

"Black" lists are easily circumvented - many, many content filters 
don't stop you going to the IP address of the site :-) And as soon
as you allow access to search engines, all bets are off.

But, anyway, I'm sure this isn't news to anyone...

Yessir! :)

An additional note: if you want, you can precompile the databases for faster
loading during startup (the blacklists file from squidGuard site contains
precompiled databases, Matthijs files did not, at least until the last time
I downloaded them).

Precompiled files have a drawback, of course: BerkeleyDB loads them if it
finds them, ignoring the ASCII version, so if you need to modify a database
you have to recompile.

Inserting an entry in a database is a matter of appending a line to the
right file, and can be done with no more than an 'echo string>>filename'
command, so there's a decision to make.

I choosed to always precompile the blacklists/Matthijs databases, that are
the largest ones, leaving the two "custom" trusted/untrusted databases in
plain ASCII.

If you don't understand what I'm talking about, please have a look at the
squidGuard documentation on www.squidguard.org: it's way more clear and
explicative than I could ever manage to be :)

No idea what e-smith version this is for or if it will work on 4.1.1?

I'm using transproxy/squidGuard on my 4.0.1 gateway. It works well, and
constitutes a good deterrent measure.

To what you have already been told, let me add that if the configuration
requires the definition of other networks as local, squidGuard will not
work.

The squidGuard.conf template does not looks for additional local networks
during the configuration file creation. I've modified the template fragment
to overcome this behaviour and sent it to Matthijs already. If you decide to
deploy such a control and you have more than a local networks, let me
know...

I'm using it now. But that's a new version 0.3-1 which I haven't uploaded
to contrib yet. I'll add that to the TODO list.

There is no way to block access to inappropriate content/web sites. There
are ways to block access to _some_ such content, but that's about it.

There were some e-smith-squidGuard RPMs, I think on Matthis's
www.bibber.net site. However, Matthis recently announced that he could no
longer maintain his e-smith content there, and the site seems to be
unavailable just now. I've copied his squidGuard SRPMS into my contrib
directory on ftp.e-smith.org. They'll show up there overnight.

Thanks Gordon/Charlie.  I'd reported to the client roughly the same
response, that there really is no foolproof way to do what they want
and a good computer usage policy statement may better serve the purpose.

Thanks for the feedback :-)

Which is a very common ISP requirement as well. (I use it on my home
server because I don't want to have to reconfig the proxy settings in
laptop when I get home from work.)

The transproxy module worked very nicely for me in E-Smith 3.*mumble*,
but broke for me when I tried to use it on 4.0. Admittedly, I haven't
looked for an updated version recently. (Mind you, if I wasn't being
lazy, I could probably do the same config by hand.)

Yes, it puts a port-redirect into the ipchains ruleset, and also
modifies squid's config file, so that squid knows what to do with the
redirected queries.

I would like to spend some time on "porting" to SME5.
I have squidguard-21.tar.gz, is it the latest ?

While I'm there, would you (or any other user) like to see something changed

Sounds like you've done quite a lot.  I'm not a perl wizard at all but 
I'll offer to take a look.  Forward me your scripts and any docs and I'll 
try to follow along and assist.

My simple first thought for testing would be to create a webpage, place 
it in the ibay to capture the user input to a /tmp/squidgaurd-update 
file.  Then have your scripts read in the file and process the variables.

If this works then incorporate everything into the e-smith-manager by 
borrowing and editing some existing scripts.

make another perl file called loader ( for this example ) that
takes
the script name the domain and the switch as variables and then 
check that script name is valid before running the domain and the
switch
thru it.

this will keep users from being able to attempt to run other
executables.

in this loader you can also put html return calls to indicate
success or failure
and then call back to the original form.

or generate an entire page in the loader with the success or
failure notice and
a link to add another.

RE: [e-smith-devinfo] squidguard returns

[Trevor Ouellette]

Hi Darrell,

Don't worry about implementing your ibay webpage into the manager.  I can do
that part.  In fact I can create the ibay and implement it into the manager
with a script that I built.

I am having a heck of a time with passing variables to my scripts from a
webpage.  Thanks... and I will be sending the scripts to you shortly!

Trev.

Hi Guys,

FYI!  We have a spare/test server with its own Ip address. If you need to
test any ideas on 4.1.x E-smith manager, we can assist. Just say the word.
This would avoid anyone
trying new config's on their production server. Its your call!

Hi tim,

I'm having some trouble with the loaderscript and the html form.  The form
doesn't seem to pass the correct information on to the loader.cgi script.

action="/cgi-bin/loader?script=$script&domain=&formelement1&switch=$switch">

Any ideas?

I was also looking for a GUI for squidguard, but all I found was the webmin
add-on you talked about.
As it is stongly adviced not to use webmin on an e-smith box... I didn't
install it...
The e-smith-manager-panel for squid guard is cool (realy great), but it
lacks some feature (like enabling db entries individualy (e.g. just
filtering porn, etc..). Something like the webmin addon but for e-smith
would be great !!!
If anybody knows something like this I'm also interested !

Regards,

Matthieu

Although I think squidguard is a cool add-on to e-smith... I think from an 
administrative point of view it does require a 'GUI'. We install squidguard 
into a lot of schools - the teachers aren't really techies but they need to 
be able to monitor/update etc the squidguard settings

I had a look on the web and all I could find was this add-on to webmin...

It is in the squidguard for ESSG package :
http://www.greencomputer.com/gc-guard-1.tar

Here is a copy of the message form Trevor Ouellette (I think... :-) )

Re: [e-smith-devinfo] Squidguard GUI

Sorry... silly question...

But does squidguard need to be installed on e-smith first, and then install 
this package?

RE: [e-smith-devinfo] SquidGuard 2

[Trevor Ouellette]

Hi Jeff,

To be honest with you, if you just want to uninstall squidguard 1 so that
you can use squidguard 2, you don't have to... just run the script and it
will update the system to ver 2.

If you want to get rid of it perm... that's on my agenda... but simply
removing the ibay, uninstalling the transproxy rpm SHOULD do it.

Don't worry, I'm working on an uninstall proggy this week.

Trev.

I'm trying to fix all the problems that were plauging the squidguard
interface.  If anyone cares, here's how to download/install it.  I've had
a
lot of inexperienced people asking about content filtering, so I want to
make this easy for them.  I know it's unconventional (PHP & scripts),
please
bear with me.

- Log in as ROOT/PASSWORD

- mkdir /squidguard2

- cd /squidguard2

- wget -nv http://www.greencomputer.com/squidguard-2.tar

- tar -xf squidguard-2.tar

- ./create-squidguard

Rebooting is optional 


FIXES:

Downloads the latest blacklist (Pal from squidguard removed all the bogus
entries like Netscape and AOL from the blacklist).  The blacklist is now
called blacklist.tar.gz~

There is a workaround for when you go through the admin console and
squidguard stops updating --> log in as root and enter
"/usr/local/squidGuard/setacls".

Remember to password protect your ibay.  This protects your internal
network.  If anyone knows how to do this from the commandline (shell
please), let me know and I can implement it.  Or do it yourself and send
me
a copy. (it's in the create-squidguard script).

Hi Brandon,

You do not have to uninstall the 1st version.

1. Simple follow the instructions for installing version 2.
2. You can now delete the /squidguard and /squidguard2 installation
directories.

That's it!  If you have any other questions or concerns, please let me know
and I will do my best to help you through it.

Hi Keith!

I haven't heard from you in a while.  I appreciate the code... :-)  In fact,
the code below is what you sent me last time.

Here is my script so far.  Currently the ibay doesn't prompt the user for a
password when accessed directly at http://192.168.1.1/squidguard



/sbin/e-smith/db accounts set squidguard ibay Group admin UserAccess
wr-admin-rd-group PublicAccess local CgiBin enabled PasswordSet no Name
squidguard Gid 5101 Uid 5101

# create the account on the system
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event ibay-create squidguard

# hack to use the setibay function from command line
perl -e 'use esmith::util;' -e
'esmith::util::setIbayPassword("squidguard","pass");'

# Notify manager that password is set
/sbin/e-smith/db accounts setprop squidguard PasswordSet yes

Anyhow, probably due to the fact the admin console runs as user admin and

I see you got the answer for this already, however, I would recommend you 
not use an ibay to host your application.  I agree e-smith makes it 
easier for websites to be run from ibays but it has been posted before 
that ibays really are intended for file sharing and simple web sites 
only.  Not for hosting applications where advanced httpd.conf 
configuration is needed.  (Just to counterdict myself, Dan Brown has a 
HowTo for adding some advanced ibay properties but limited to one line 
entry I believe)

But in any event, to really have the freedom to go beyond the current 
ibay or advanced ibay settings, it may be better to host your squidguard 
implementation from an alias directory.

This would also make it simpler to build the final product into an rpm.

Just my thoughts,

RE: [e-smith-devinfo] SquidGuard 2 Development

[Trevor Ouellette]

Hi Darrell,

All programs APPEAR to operate properly (checking the logs).  In fact,
squid's transproxy and squidguard both continue to load and work properly.
It's something in the setacls file in /usr/local/squidGuard.  Maybe
permissions... that sounds right.

Do you have any more information about using an alias directory instead of
an ibay.  That sounds pretty good.  That way, internal clients won't see the
/squidguard directory in Samba.  In fact, I don't even want anyone to see
the ibay in Samba.

Good thinking... I'll keep looking around!

Trev.

It is actually just a matter of editing /etc/samba.conf and 
setting 'browseable = no', via the e-smith way of course by diving into 
the templates and creating/editing a templates-custom fragment.

But you can still reach it by doing a \\servername\ibay right?  It just

Correct.  Again, if these ibays in question are not used for file 
sharing, then again it is better not to use ibays.  Use a directory alias 
in httpd.conf.

I'd strongly second Darrell's recommendation.

I'd suggest that you start by looking at the way that the e-smith-imp RPM
integrates /webmail into the website without using an i-bay.

You'll find detailed instructions on making and modifying e-smith RPMs on
the e-smith.org web site.

Thanks Charlie,

That's right, imp and webmail is a good example.  I will start work on using
the alias directory.

RE: [e-smith-devinfo] squidguard interface 99% complete.

[Trevor Ouellette]

I wrote my squidguard interface today... all in PHP!  I can now update
domains, expressions and URL's for trusted and untrusted files.  Add, remove
and list files are possible.  It's a cheap little database based on the six
squidguard text files.

But, does anyone know how to execute a squid restart from a web interface?
(not the /etc/rc.d/init.d/squid restart commands).  Maybe an e-smith restart
or something that doesn't have to be root to execute... I'm having
permission problems with squid restarting, etc...

There has to be something...

Trev.

I second that opinion, I am using it since last week on a essg 4.1.2 at home
with no problems. It's not the most scientific testing, but the features
definitely work as advertised.

RE: [e-smith-devinfo] squidguard for essg reports

[Trevor Ouellette]

There is an e-mail address at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can try send them an email (nicely worded of course :-) and they will
add it to the robot exemption list.

You can add the incorrectly banned site to your trusted domains files in the
squidguard manager interface.  The sites added via the interface have more
authority than the blacklist and will take precedent.

Trevor,

I installed your package and it is exactly what I needed. It seems a
little strange though, because lately (4 or 5 days after installation)
it filters lots of normal stuff from the normal users. I could not
load www.aol.com for some reason. I added my IP to the unfiltered list
and all was well, but that does not work for dhcp when I get a new ip.
Any ideas?

Is probably the squidguard blacklist file.  Even "www.networksolutions.com"
was blocked.

I bet some joker added aol to the blacklist because they thought it might be
funny.  What a bunch of jerks!
I found it in /db/porn/domains --> "aol.com"

BTW, how often do you get a new internal IP address via DHCP?  I've had the
same one now for a couple months.

Hello Trevor

I installed squidguard. It could not find blacklists/*
I reinstalled as you suggested to Bertrand, same result - no blacklist/*
ftp to ftp.ost.eltele.no ..  no blacklist/*

I have only been going today - so I cannot comment on unblocked state. It
works
perfectly at this time. Thank you very much for a very necessary and very
nice
program.

[e-smith-devinfo] e-smith manager "limitations" (was Re: [e-smith-devinfo] Squidguard GUI)

Limiting user visible options is a primary e-smith design goal. We
don't expect users to manage Samba, FTP, Apache, etc. - they are done
consistently by the manager.

Most users (as opposed to "power users") want a limited set of choices
so they know what should be entered at each screen. The server is designed
for small businesses with no IT staff. They typically don't know, nor want
to know, anything about Linux permissions, users, groups, etc. Most of the
GUI admin tools expect you to know something about the underlying system.

The manager is also designed to be extensible. It's an open framework
so you can add as many complex panels as you wish. So, there's nothing to
stop you adding a panel with hundreds of widgets on it if you want the
"power options".

So, if you find it limiting, why not write a panel to ease those 
limitations? We'll host the contributed packages on our site.

Thanks,

Gordon

Limiting user visible options is a primary e-smith design goal. We
don't expect users to manage Samba, FTP, Apache, etc. - they are done
consistently by the manager.

Most users (as opposed to "power users") want a limited set of choices
so they know what should be entered at each screen. The server is designed
for small businesses with no IT staff. They typically don't know, nor want
to know, anything about Linux permissions, users, groups, etc. Most of the
GUI admin tools expect you to know something about the underlying system.

The manager is also designed to be extensible. It's an open framework
so you can add as many complex panels as you wish. So, there's nothing to
stop you adding a panel with hundreds of widgets on it if you want the
"power options".

So, if you find it limiting, why not write a panel to ease those 
limitations? We'll host the contributed packages on our site.

Thanks,

Gordon
