I'm not sure how easy or difficult this is, but how about a YaST module (either a new one, or integrated into firewall etc) to help people (parents, schools etc) set up child filters for internet browsing and e-mail. I'm told that this currently involves quite a bit of fooling around with squid-proxy and postfix, which makes it (and consequently SUSE) unattractive for at least one market segment
That seems to make a lot of sense to me. I'll add it to http://en.opensuse.org/Summer_of_Code_2006
Yep, interesting idea. Wouldn't be that difficult to implement actually, it would be a configuration frontend for blocking rules in Squid (+ possibly transparent proxy configuration through SuSEfirewall2 to enforce HTTP requests to go through Squid). + implement a protocol and a sample implementation of a website blacklisting system (similar to Razor for spam or DenyHosts for SSH) through a central website or even a P2P architecture
For that matter, I'd love to see a YaST module for configuring SUSE Linux to act as a terminal server (like LTSP, e.g.).
Good idea as well ;) -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <pascal.bleser@skynet.be> <guru@unixtech.be> _\_v FOSDEM 2006 -- 25+26 February 2006 in Brussels
