Hi All, I think that this problem is related with DG (or its interactions with OpenBSD), and I have already posted the following emails to the DG maillist, but I could not receive any replies. So I assume that most DG 2.9.7.5 users run it on Linux, and they don't have this problem. Therefore, I hope there are people on this list running DG 2.9.7.5 on OpenBSD 3.9.
The summary of the issue is that I get the following errors in messages: dansguardian: Error accepting. (Ignorable) dansguardian: Error reading ipc. (Ignorable) When these errors occur for all the child processes (max 120 in config file), DG stops all web access. Apparently, they are not "ignorable." If I can't receive any replies from misc@ either, I'll submit a bug report to DG. I would appreciate any help.

(Since 2.8.0.6 is lacking some very good features of 2.9.7.5, this is quite sad.) dansguardian: Error reading ipc. (Ignorable) I'm getting these errors on 3 different systems. Since there was no reply to my previous post below, I assume that I'm the only one having problems with 2.9.7.5 on OpenBSD 3.9. What could be wrong? I would appreciate any help.
