It changes the order of that little drop-down menu. kdmconfig directly alters the 'SessionTypes' line in /usr/share/config/kdmrc.

Re: [expert] Configuring Squid
Hey again Steve, If you get REALLY stuck, grab a 486 / low end pentium, and simply run junk buster on that - that way you can get away with stuff all in expenses, and all you have to do is redirect requests to the junkbuster/486, and only allow access to squid from the jb/486 machine ? considering all it will be doing is acting as a data pump, you could quite easily get away with it - worst case is that you'll have to get a p100 or something =] Zak What if you made squid run on a different port? i.e. you could have it so that its set for 58347 (etc) and junkbuster talks to that - alternatively - add a line to /etc/hosts.deny, denying all access to port 3128, except for local host? The problem with the first solution is that there's still port whatever available for a wily user to attach to and get unfiltered access to the 'net. Making it a different port doesn't do much except stop a person from reading Squid docs to find out where it listens normally. The problem with the second idea is that Squid doesn't run through tcp_wrappers, so it ignores /etc/hosts.*. Running it through tcp_wrappers is NOT an option -- the performance hit would be horrible, I'd imagine... Thanks for the ideas, though. I _think_ I remember seeing a configuration option in squid.conf to limit who it listens to. Since all accesses should be from localhost, I think I can deny cache use to anything else.

Direct Internet access is forbidden by the router, allowing only traffic which comes from the proxy server. Clients are expected to talk to the Junkbuster proxy in order to reach the Internet (this allows us to filter and block extremely easily). The Junkbuster proxy talks to the Squid proxy to cache all requests.

Re: [expert] Problem with emacs console-mode
I finally got around to working on this. I reinstalled Mandrake due to a major hardware upgrade (plus I really hadn't touched the original install). I used Mandrake 60-2 for the install. Downloaded it from a mirror on July 31. I still had problems with exiting emacs in console mode but at least this time it didn't lock up the console. So as one person suggested I used MandrakeUpdate to install the updated packages. The only packages it said needed to be updated were XConfigurator, initiscripts, netscape-common and netscape-communicator. So, I had MandrakeUpdate dl and install the new packages. I tried emacs in console mode again and still got a fatal error when I tried to quit. Will rebooting fix this since I got a new initscripts package?
