Hello there,

I'm sorry but you cannot simply update the squidGuard configuration
through the web frontend. Why ? Simply because the sections are not the
same. From the very start: www.squidguard.org uses one blacklist.tar.gz
archive and Fabrice Pringent,
http://cache.univ-tlse1.fr/documentations/cache/squidguard_en.html
(you can find in the links section) provides an extended blacklist.tar.gz
archive.

Here is the contents of this list:
warez
violence
redirector
publicite
hacking
gambling
forums
drugs
audio-video
aggressive
adult
ads

ads:
 domains
 urls

adult:
 domains
 expressions
 urls

aggressive:
 domains
 urls

audio-video:
 domains
 urls

.... 


In our basic squidGuard configuration we use the following sections:

advertising
banneddestination
bannedsource
lansource
privilegedsource
timerestriction 


the blacklist archive sections have the advertising/banneddestination sections in
our tool as a correspondance. 

So you could concatenate, by hand, the urls/domains/expressions section
from the blacklist archive to our advertising/banneddestination sections,
and then remove the comments.

simply do a cat whatever/blacklist/ads/domains >>
/usr/share/squidGuard-1.1.4/db/banneddestination/domains
and the same thing for the other sections. Then restart squid.
Of course, in the advanced version of the firewall we will create scripts
to deal with all that.

Of course, save your configuration before doing that.

Sincerely,
