Re: Blocking ip address on RH8
You are correct, at least, adding the sites I want to block to hosts.deny doesn't do anything for web-pages. I have never used squid before, and just masq the internet connections using iptables (a protocol that I still find cryptic) I guess I will have to learn some more :) My hope is that squid is easy to set-up. Once more into the breach. . ..
