I also want to know, if there any possibilities to scan for viruses.
That's probably something that's better done on a mail server. Sure, but my box is a http-proxy too and three weeks ago, we had the nimda-virus on internal workstations .
Well, a lot of tools for scanning at the SMTP level do exist (see www.openantivirus.org for a product list). The only open-source soultion I know for squid is called "viralator" (with a small patch, it can be used for ftp-traffic to if squid works as ftp-proxy, too). viralator needs squirm and, of course a virus scanner. It works, but don't expect it's fast or really useable if several hunderts clients are conencted to your proxy. best regards, Rainer Link -- Rainer Link | SuSE - The Linux Experts link@suse.de | Developer of A Mail Virus Scanner (amavis.org) www.suse.de | Founder OpenAntiVirus Project (www.openantivirus.org)
