Hi There,
I'm searching for an easy way to setup Squid as private Web-Cache-Proxy.
The people using squid told me to use webmin - but the osol-version of webmin
is outdated so that squid couldn't be configured this way.
gadmin-squid seems to be to buggy (and hard to build under osol 2009.06

if you want to restrict installation to the sun-provided copy of firefox, you
can also do the following:

Never had a problem with it, because the management system I employ works

In my system, patches are never applied to production systems, but to the
