I tried turning off javascript. But now it pops up a dialog every time I close a window, asking me if I want to turn it back on (and defaulting to "yes"). Very annoying.

(question is, is it more annoying than v5 not responding to keyboard shortcuts when numlock is on? hard to tell)

No need to disable javascript completely, just all outgoing traffic to any domain controlled by remoteapproach.

Well, except, any given document that wants to track you could use its own site to do so.

Do you have a complete list of domains controlled by remoteapproach?

Does anyone know if there's a way to control packet flow based on the attributes of the process trying to transmit the packet (i.e., "don't allow Acrobat Reader to send any network packets anywhere?")

SELinux can do that sort of thing quite easily. Well, as easily as SELinux does anything, I guess...

That tid not quite work, perhaps it works for other or you need some extension - I'm not an expert.

Anyhow, the idea is to send all output from the command "acroread" to the DROP chain, which would cause you timeouts, I'd rather just send it to REJECT (-j REJECT) or if you're wondering, why not use a logged chain of your own? :)

Go to $HOME/.adobe/Acrobat/7.0/JavaScripts and remove "glob.settings.js". Create a symbolic link with that name to "/dev/null". That should stop the dialog box.
