Fedora core 2:
Everything was ok with one of my customers. Each user accesing a dos based app from dosemu/freedos had been working smooth... until fedora core 2 arrived...
Well the change from Xfree86 to X.org had its consequences. The new fedora user couldn't run the app as the other people ( which had Mandrake and Redhat 8 and 9 installed ).
After several tries I decided to access the app from one of the RH9 users. So I did this bash script:
#!/bin/sh
FONTDIR=/home/blabla/dosemu/Xfonts
cd $FONTDIR
mkfontdir
xset +fp $FONTDIR
ssh user@machine "dosemu/xdosemu"
.....
Now the problem was with Squid...
How to make a user access everything related to yahoo but nothing else ?
The trick was editing the /etc/squid/squid.conf file by prepending the domain def in dstdomain directive with a . ( dot ) like this ...
acl yahoouser src 192.168.0.152
acl yahoo dstdomain .yahoo.com
acl yahoo2 dstdomain .yimg.com
http_access deny yahoouser !yahoo !yahoo2
( See the . before yahoo.com and yimg.com )
