With a view to authenticating use of our Linux proxy I have been looking on the web for an Ident server for our PC stations. I thought it would be easy, but... there are lots of them - and most seem to allow you to set any ID you like. Some are are only 3.xx compatible or not NT compatible. There seemed to be none that would actually do the job I thought I required. Of course - I'm probably mistaken. What do others use? -- Alan Davies Head of Computing Birkenhead School

Well we have been using the one from http://identd.sourceforge.net/ But its 95/98 only. However! http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/199812/0190.html These guys are making a service based one for NT that might be more up your street. links for it are on that page. On our selection i do find i am getting a sizable % of 'everybody' in the sarg analysed squid logs even though i have packaged it out to every station on our 2.4 RM network. It could possibly be due to transient network conditions or pcs with damaged registry/slow performance that is timing out the request. Strangely though, quite a few of these anon signals are coming from the sixth form block which is l33t hax0r country if i'm not mistaken! ;) If it is the case i am not sure how they're booting the exe out of ram as it isn't listed in 98's task manager. --- Alan Davies wrote: > With a view to authenticating use of our Linux proxy

You can get programs that list all running processes (regardless of whether they appear in the ctrl-alt-delete list or not) - I've even written one myself (just to work out what some window titles were to send messages to different apps). They could very easily have something like this and they are just getting rid of it that way. Or even simpler they could just be altering the registry to remove it from the startup although I presume you are blocking registry editing from working, then again on 95/98 security is fairly easily bypassed :( Alex Brett alex.brett@brettcomputers.co.uk On 13 Jun 2003 at 13:23, Steve Palmer wrote:

New subject: [suse-linux-uk-schools] WGet & proxies

Hey all, I could do with a little advice regarding this utility for grabbing websites off the net onto the squid cache - quite useful for french lessons where they have a couple predefined websites that all students will visit for that lesson. Anyway we are sat behind a proxy that is on port 80 but at a specific address, and wget decides just to aim itself at port 80 on our local box. :/ I've had a little skwiz at the documentation and it speaks about adding socks support via compiling in some socks module, but this is standard http proxy so it doesn't apply does it? :( There doesn't appear to be any kind of configuration file knocking about, but if anyone else has experience of this proggy your advice would be welcome. ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?

New subject: [suse-linux-uk-schools] WGet & proxies

Well theres a --proxy=on parameter, but it appears to have no effect on the connection. I can get through to *.embc.org.uk ones as they are our isp and they keep those servers behind their proxy. or is there some external variable defined elsewhere like you might have a system.ini in a windows system? Am a bit of a linux noob you see! ;) --- Simon Kelsall wrote: > On Mon, 16 Jun 2003 12:17:56 +0100 (BST), you wrote:

New subject: [suse-linux-uk-schools] WGet & proxies

The plot thickens.. seems theres already a 1.7.1 version of it on SuSE, yet i have compiled 1.8.1 to *somewhere* I found a configuration file stashed away in the usr/local portion of the system. I uncommented the necessary lines - i spotted the additional http_address line that isn't displayed in the options of the wget binary. Its possible it was an addition to the program since 1.7.x --- Simon Kelsall wrote: > On Mon, 16 Jun 2003 12:17:56 +0100 (BST), you wrote:

WGET has used proxies for agest. Set the http_proxy environment variable e.g. in bash for our proxy on 10.10.1.1 port 3128 http_proxy=http://10.10.1.1:3128 and do ftp for good measure ftp_proxy=ftp://10.10.1.1:3128 then you need to export the settings export http_proxy export ftp_proxy I think that's how I sorted it.

No problem, it works for a number of other utilities too. BTW If your using wget to pull into the cache then use the --delete-after switch so that your file system does not get clogged up with lot's of files. Rob At 14:37 16/06/2003 +0100, you wrote:
