Hello, We're tied to a Windows 2000 domain controller due to extensive Citrix use. I've downloaded Microsoft's Services For Unix which claims to make the Windows Domain controller into a NIS and NFS server which sounds good, has anyone used this before? Thanks Joe Garfoot

Squid + Dansguardian
by Steve Wright - EliteUKServe 02 Mar '04

02 Mar '04

Hi all, I've just implemented this in a local school for doing proxying and filtering. Just wondering if anyone has written a front end to Dansguardian, or knows of any? If not, I might setup a little project for the development of a front end to it as it's pretty powerful in what it can do!
