I do blacklists with squid acls, and therefore squidguard is not needed here. Further /var/squid lies on it's own partition. For test purposes it looks easier to me just to disable the squid disk cache at all. This makes squid a non cacheing proxy, but better than a sometimes frozen box at all. Will give this a try after checking the other stuff Philip pointed out. Thanks a lot! - Eps
