Couldn't get it to work with either: acl room30 ident cartman or acl room30b srcdomain cartman Including using the -I term... Have you any other ideas??! All I want to do is let squid block by pc name?!?

with it... Prefer the nakedness of my ickle Squiddy.

Fair enough....

So I'm guessing it wouldn't just be something like;

acl room30 ident 30-pc23 http_access deny room30

Or am I close?? :o)

I think that'll do it :-) give it a go and remember to do: squid -k reconfigure afterwards :-) Do let me know how you get on.... Hmm, my computer degree is boring.. :-) -- Thomas Adam

Thanks again for all your help!!

Dug,

Sorry to sound dense... Been a long weekend!!

Good luck with the SQL, and thx for ur help!

You're not being dense. The ACL in question would be one that you create, and then add a reference to it within your "/etc/squid.conf" file.

I don't suppose you're running "squidGuard" as well, are you?

I'm not worried about SQL, it's easy. I only wish we were using Postgresql as opposed to Oracle :-( Nevermind....

If you have indetd running then it should be easy.

What I'd be inclined to do, is to have an ACL whereby it contains all the names of the computers (workstation FQH's) contained in each room.

Have that ACL authenticated to usually allow access, except if you change the "/etc/squid.conf" file to disallow access to that room.

Hmm, I'm having fun in my SQL tutorial at the moment, and am getting no work done, he he....good old Uni.

(netbios?) is unique though, IdentD service also running too, if that's any help. :S

How can I block by pc name?

Yes, I have some....

Squid works its filtering not only on ACL's but on IP/subnets too.

Assuming that the IP addresses of your machines in the specific room have a commonality about them then it should be easy enough for you to block an entire room.

HTH,

Squid block internet access to an entire room of kids?

At the moment, the ACL's block some users and some websites, but sometimes, for obvious reasons a teacher wants us to block, say, Room 30 from having internet access.

Each machine is Win2k, and is named '30-pcxx' where xx is a number to uniquely id the machine.

I've written a vb program before that runs before IE, but it isn't very successful!!

Any ideas?? Pur-lease?!
