Yahoo Instant Messaging
 

DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT PORT NUMBERS YAHOO INSTANT MESSENGER USES AND HOW WOULD I BLOCK THESE PORTS TEMPORARILY USING IPTABLES?

ALSO WHEN I USE NETSTAT -PANTU I SEE THE FOLLOWING:

dabeast@linux:~> netstat -pantu|more

CAN I GET THE INFORMATION FROM THIS OUTPUT?

hmm... maybe. I would more reliably installing ethereal and ethereal-gnome, and running a capture on all incoming/outgoing packets on the machine running yahoo messenger. Ethereal is really good about recognizing protocols, it should show you which packets are captured yahoo packets

IS THERE A WAY TO CONFIGURE SQUID/VIRALATOR TO WORK WITH YAHOO INSTANT MESSAGING TO FILTER OUT JUNK AND VIRUSES. CURRENTLY YAHOO INSTANT MESSENGER DOES NOT USE MY PROXY BUT MY CHILDREN USE THE INTERNET THROUGH MY PROXY TO ACCESS THE WEB. dOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO CONFIGURE SQUID TO WORK WITH YAHOO INSTANT MESSENGING?
