I'm trying to solve the following problem: Some users (don't know which) are accessing pornographic stuff. In addition, porno pop-ups are appearing on machines. Is it pratical to use a proxy server (squid ?) to try and prevent access to pornographic websites ? From my reading on proxy's, it doesn't seem practical. How are others handling this issue ? thanks, Darryl
