Bets Mark knows as much as SWEN as regards disabling common registry editting tools ;-) If he didn't last week he sure does this week. Sure it is possible to bypass anything in software, but if it is just to upgrade IE, the path of least resistance might be to upgrade. Assuming user agent is fixed, how do you do the proxy? Apache mod_proxy doesn't seem to offer it. I can't help feeling it would be smarter to go with pushing all Microsoft patches, but I'm guessing Mark can't configure everyones PC? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE/bifuGFXfHI9FVgYRApSkAJ9+ds3rUTggKcpgwa+ox+WphcV42ACfahNf B50wweFwJOSXddhws6ghwWM= =gxG3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
