I am new to linux/fedora. How is squint used to monitor internet traffic, and how can the access list be configured to restrict the use of msn messenger?
Please help.

How does squint work

To restrict the use of messenger you may want to block messenger port using iptables.
COncerning squint, I found that SARG is generally a better solution to produce internet/squid use reports. The kind of reports provided by squint are also available in SARG, but many more reports are also available through an interactive interface.

How does SARG work? How do you block the ports through IP tables? and wouldn't the port blocked affect other traffic?
No, it will not affect the traffic on other ports.
Iptables is no topic that can be explained in a few lines.
just as example:
will block incoming traffic on interface eth0 on port xxx.
How are your networking skills? Are you familiar with the way TCP works? is yes then you can find reference on iptables at
SARG is a module that you can use through webmin and produces reports on your squid proxy server utiltisation.
If i remember correctly it requires perl to be installed on your system; on a redhat system you can install sarg by trying something like
yum install sarg
If it does not find it try downloading the rpm and installing it manually.
YOu will also find reference in the site above.
