        Ew.

        That nasty beast is a causative part of a customer issue that's
forcing a complete rebuild of their Enterprise.

        The installer is so banal that it requires the user to actually
create a config file before running it.

        Shades of MS-DOS 3.3!!

        yeah we have SmartFilter, and while I can block "webmail" as a
catagory, i seem to still be able to hit the yahoo email pages.

        That's true, when you have professional malicious users like the
little savages in our public schools, you have to go with Websense or
SurfControl or some similar content filtering solution that updates it's
database everyday.

                You can go the black-list route, but knowing the kids we
have here they will find ways around your black-list in a matter of
minutes.  Your best bet is a program similar to SurfControl, that
updates their listing of websites every day.
