We are using Squid/2.3.STABLE4-hno.CVS on SuSE 7.2 pro KDE2 desktop, with RM
as our upstream proxy. This works very well. but...

We want to do the following

1) upgrade Squid AND use MAC addresses.

We've downloaded the latest stable release and followed all the instructions
( ./configure --enable-arp-acl etc.) all (appears) to work fine but arp does
not work and Squid reports that is still 2.3 !

If it's an easier option, is it possible to configure the release that came
with SuSE to work with MAC addresses? - If so, how?

2) We also want to move our Proxy server to a remote location and decided
that VNC would be good for administration.

We got the dreaded grey screen (certain that is has worked without problems
in earlier versions of SuSE) anyway we have poured over the net and have
finally managed to open a session but nothing runs without crashing. We have
also tried downloading RPMs of VNC and like squid they do not appear to
install.

We've spent ages looking at the net regarding both of these problems but
without joy. James, my technician is almost in tears and has decided to
install LINUX over his beloved WIN2000 server at home so that he can get to
the bottom of this! I'm sure that we're missing an obvious step or two, any
ideas as to which obvious box we haven't ticked?

Thanks
