[aclug-L] Re: February Meeting topic?

[Anne McCadden <ironrose@xxxxxxx>]

A friend told me that he uses webmin to manage the debian & windoze
boxes also.  I wonder if it would tell a person what ports are open on
the windoze box, like trojans running amuck.  He has been trying to
configure squid-guard to block porn sites on his servers.  Sounds like a
good idea for an ISP to do, if that is what a group of customers want.
