looking for a set of applications

looking for a set of applications

[Tyler Littlefield]

Hello list,
I've got a quick question.
My grandma lets my brother and cousin use her computer, but thinks they're going in to adult porn sites when she's not around, etc etc.
She wants me to set up something on linux so that I can watch all the sites, and email her a daily report of where her computer goes.
I can do the daily report with cron and mailx, but i need a way to watch what sites she goes through, any ideas?


Thanks,
Tyler Littlefield

apt-get install calamaris

or apt-get install sarg

You'd then need to read the documentation and configure the finor points of 
these programs.
You'd also need a copy of squid on the local box and tell the browsers to 
operate through squid.

If these users do not cover their tracks just look through their web history 
to see where they went.

If users unset proxy then they bypass your logging, this is possible to fix 
but is a bit involved.

I will provide no further technical support on the above so please do your 
own research on squid, sarg and calamaris.
If you wish to block porn sites then you might want dansguardian or 
squidguard.
I find squidguard difficult to configure but it does work.
There are also chastity-blacklist packages that will block a lot of adult 
sites.

It is also possible to register with opendns and tell opendns to block porn 
adult sites etc,
create an account on www.opendns.com and take a look.
Regards, Kerry.

I didn't ask for tech support. I asked for ideas on applications, no need to 
act like that.
Thanks for the program suggestions, I'll take a look.

Re: looking for a set of applications

[Kerry Hoath]

Usually list exchanges go as follows:

Person asks a question, list user answers.
Person asks another question, list user answers.

I go back to work this week and have no intention of providing any more 
information on these programs than I have in my previous post.
I decided to make this clear before you wasted your time asking me any more 
questions.

I have in fact used calamaris and sarg, and once squid is configured these 
programs for the most part work.
This said however, I usually install this infrastructure for paying clients.

As my wife is ill; I prioritize my time between working, and looking after 
her. This does not leave me with a lot of time to enter into in depth 
discussions on many topics on the speakup list.

If you would prefer I will obstaine from providing any information at all on 
your inquiries; rather than beeing honest on the level of tech support I am 
willing to provide.

If you feel this is a personal afront, I am sincerely sorry.
there is no emotion involved in this decision and I have not allowed my 
personal opinions to affect this decision; it is purely a case of time 
management.

Any other list participant is more than welcome to answer your further 
questions in as much detail as they see fit, however I will not be 
perpetuating the thread beyond this point.

This is one of the advantages of open source and community resources, people 
can provide as much or as little support as they see fit.
I choose to stay at the little end of the scale during 2009 whilst I am 
working.

Regards, Kerry.

Re: looking for a set of applications

[Tyler Littlefield]

what ever floats your boat bro. But there's no need for the arrogance. Your 
not the only one here that knows about linux. If I were to ask another 
question, and you didn't want to answer it, then don't answer it. Just 
remember one thing. While your running on about how you get paid to do this 
(hint hint), you were learning at one point too.
Peace!

Thanks,

Re: looking for a set of applications

[Terry D. Cudney]

Tyler,

	We are >all< learning. Some of us ask a lot of questions. Some of us give a lot of answers. Kerry falls into the second group on this list.

	He has said that he has work and family that require his time and that he will comment (give no more answers) on a particular thread. Please respect his choice in that matter. You don't need to berate him.

	I, for one, have appreciated Kerry's technical expertise over the years. Let's  appreciate each other and keep the flames out of it.

	Please, let this be the end of this thread.

	--terry

Re: looking for a set of applications

[Willem van der Walt]

You can use squint to do the logging from the squid logs
You can use iptables to force all machines through the proxy server.
It is called transparent proxy.
In short, you make your squid box the gateway needed by all machines on 
your internal network to go out to the world.
Any requests to port 80 is grabbed and forwarded to the proxy server.
Although you can block some sites using acls in squid, setting up squint 
justs show in a nice web page where every machine went and how long it 
staied on a particular site.
If your gran can read that and the rest of the family knows that she can, 
they might refrane from visiting sites she would not like.
HTH, Willem
