Hello,
First I want to appologize for somehow sending multiple messages last night. I only
sent one message - but either my mailer sent multiples or the list server reproduced
it.
I did get 3 of each of your messages - so maybe the list server is at fault.
I changed the ownership on the squidGuard files to squid:squid - and now when I start
squid it appears to correctly open squidGuard and writes to the log.
Unfortunately I can't seem to get the rules to work. For instance I put this rules
set
into my filter.conf:
logdir /usr/local/squidGuard/log
dbhome /usr/local/squidGuard/db
acl {
default {
pass none
}
}
I know that it is reading this file - because I had a
dest porn {
domainlist porn/domains
urllist porn/urls
}
And when I removed it from filter.conf and restarted squid - the log entries in
squidGuard.log were changed.
I assume that:
logdir /usr/local/squidGuard/log
dbhome /usr/local/squidGuard/db
acl {
default {
pass none
}
}
will simply stop anyone who tries to access any URL nomatter where/what it is. This
is
not working. I tried URL's that are definitely not in my local cache - and I'm still
opening them up.
Is there possibly a setting in squid.conf that I've set to open up access? I set the
line in squid.conf
http_access allow my_group
And it tried commenting that out.
Do I need something like
http_access redirector my_group?
Any help appreciated
-Rob
