Files with names like domains, urls, etc are not properly db files but are rather text files used to build the db files. The db files (domains.db, urls.db) are built with the squidGuard -C command. squidGuard -c <config> (note lower case) is the command used to specify an alternate config file.

What I've been doing is editing the db files (db/adult/domains, db/games/domains, etc.) and then I simply restart squid (/etc/rc.d/init.d/squid restart) and tail -f the squidguard log to make sure it restarts and parses the DB files. This has worked well in the last few times to add new sites that have been blocked. As a matter of fact, while I was searching I found that users will still able to access hotmail.com by going to hotmail.msn.com I added hotmail.msn.com to the "webmail" destination domain list and restarted squid. the site is now blocked. This just seems like a curious site. If what I've done is wrong, I'll be more than happy to try out the way you suggest. As a note, I never got squidGuard to behave properly until I configured it with ./configure --with-sg-config=/path/to/myconfig and since then I've been able use squidGuard without the -C /path/to/config Anyhow... If theres something I'm not doing right I am always happy to get right. Lemme know if you've had any other idea and I'll be more than happy to check it out. Thanks for all the help!!
