[squid-users] manual proxy configuration ...

[Albretch Mueller]

 As I expect and suspected my exposed box had been compromised. I used
a knoppix DVD they can't write to/effing alter  it for physical
reasons. Their efforts would be futile, senseless.

 If I get the time I will write up a nicer document, but since I do
believe in karma I want to help other people running into the same
problem
