Secondary Science software
by Chris Puttick 23 Apr '02

23 Apr '02

Hi Anyone aware of science curriculum software (like digital brain) that is (a) web-based and (b) open source? Failing that, we've got some interest in developing some on those criteria - we have manpower, internet server space and bandwidth. You bring developer skills, and/or curriculum knowledge and no summer holidays... documentation volunteers also welcome. Ian? Michael? You in? Open source thin client in secondary schools merely awaits such things... Cheers Chris

Banning internet access via netbios names
by N_Harris 22 Apr '02

22 Apr '02

We have squid running on a Proxy Server which works great, however we would like to be able to switch internet access off by the room. Ideally using the netbios names to identify the machines as we have come to the conclusion that using static IPs is impracticable. We would also like teachers to have access to switch this access on and off. Can anyone HELP! cheers Nathan Harris

Easy solution given you know the netbios names - add reservations on the DHCP scope for the particular machines, then block the ip addresses you've assigned. Now letting the teachers turn that on and off? Probably need to mess with Webmin.

RE: [suse-linux-uk-schools] RM proxy server query

Yes, several. I believe most popular is identd, see http://www.squid-cache.org/related-software.html under Ident Servers.

Has anyone had any experience, or know of any way of getting Squid to log usernames? We're using Windows 95/98 (*spultter*) clients with the Squid proxy and, at the moment, its going through an NT proxy first, just so we can see exactly *who* was accessing which site.

There seems to be a great one at http://identd.sourceforge.net/ - thanks very much!!! Now to pull apart the RM Proxy! Dug Stokes ICT Technician
