Since I had the best answer for this, I thought I'd post it again.

779 error installing KB957324

Repeated problems failing update of KB957324. Downloaded the Microsoft stand-alone installed, failed because: can't change or read c:\windows\system32\mapisvc.inf. Edited the permissions to take ownership of this file by the current admin logged in user. Retried. Successfully completed. Verified that SYSTEM still had full rights to the file. Happy camper.

Replace Dansguardian 2.8.0.6 binary for SmoothWall Express 3

To fix the iTunes 9.1/dansguardian bug (at your own risk, though I don't think it should break anything. If it does, you have the dansguardian backup file, right?):

Assuming you have already installed http://smoothwallmods.googlecode.com/files/DGAV-SW3-2.8.0.6-6.4.4.2-i686-b012.tgz in SmoothWall Express 3.0

1. Back up /usr/sbin/dansguardian
   
2. obtain http://www.gwy.org/dansguardian
   
3. replace /usr/sbin/dansguardian
   
4. chmod +x /usr/sbin/dansguardian
   
5. at the minimum, you could dansguardian -q; dansguardian
   

now the malformed URL issue won't show up and iTunes 9.1 will work with dansguardian 2.8.0.6.

If you want 2.10, you'll have to compile it yourself.

DNS Blackhole.conf update

This information is probably 2-3 years old by the time you see this, but I'm recording it for posterity.

In Smoothwall 2, there's an application that updates /etc/blackhole.conf, but it hasn't done that in a while because the old site www.bleedingthreats.net doesn't provide spyware blacklists updates.

A replacement can be found from malwaredomains.

Simply edit:
/usr/local/bin/blackhole.pl

Change $host entry to www.malwaredomains.com
change $get entry to /files/spywaredomains.zones

That's all.
