Hi all ! I'm supporting small proxy server in our office, based on FreeBSD 3.4 and squid-2.2. All works good except latest problems: we have Windows2000 on one of the workstation. It seems like damned active desktop was build-in into it. It tryes to connect to channel server every 2-3 minutes. I have acl list in squid configured such that nobody can access channels. (we use dial-on-demand connection and i don't want it to be permanently dial). But because of such attempts squid log file was full of following lines: 978589267.196 120 golubev.rusig.ru NONE/400 1668 GET http://channels.real.com /getlatest.glh?PV=6.0.5.27&OS=WIN&L=en-US,%20en,%20*&LID=1033&ch=120+54+0+0+0&ch =72+39+0+0+0&ch=44+287+0+0+0&ch=52+505+0+0+0&ch=33+393+0+0+0&ch=73+19+0+0+0&ch=9 8+27+0+0+0&ch=94+244+0+0+0&ch=16+478+0+0+0&ch=113+46+0+0+0&ch=51+116+0+0+0&ch=97 +108+0+0+0 - NONE/- - causing squid monthly log file to increase from 1 megabyte to 14 megabytes. It is not yet big problem, but i think in the future we will have a couple of such workstations, and logs will increase to completely unoperable size. Does anybody have solution how to prevent Win2000 to access this damned channel server, or, at least, prevent squid to log all such requests ? P.S. Of course, the best solution is: install FreeBSD on all workstations, but i still can't do it. Regards, Alexander.
