Hi, first thanx to Rick Matthews and Nick Barron for your replies to my questions. Unfortunately my email account got deleted and I couldn't get some of the emails, but I found them in the mailing list archive. Still, some things are unclear. Mr. Matthews, you write:
Domain matching includes subdomains. Thus if you have a domainlist containing bad.com all these URLs will match that destination group since they are equal to or subdomains of bad.com: http://bad.com/ http://bad.com/whatever ftp://bad.com/ wais://bad.com http://www2.bad.com/ http://whatever.bad.com/ http://www56.whatever.bad.com/ but not: http://www.verybad.com/ So this works only in the domains blacklist? If I insert bad.com into the URLs blacklist, only bad.com is blacklisted, but not whatever.bad.com . So if I want to blacklist all virtual (second level) domains, like whatever. bad.com, then I have to insert bad.com into the domains blacklist rather than the urls blacklist? Mr. Barron, you write: now I have an "sgrebuild" script that does a squidguard -C all followed by a chown -R squid.squid /data/squidguard (adjust for your local install). That way if things are behaving strangely you can run sgrebuild to make sure it's not a silly mistake (my standard one is creating a new group as root and then running squidguard to reconfigure). What is this sgrebuild? What I actually need, is something equivalent to a windows bat file, where I can put : Squidguard -C all Squid -k reconfigure , and then it should be executed by clicking on this file (or on a symbolic link to this file) from the kde environment, otherwise I have to type in these lines in a console, in order to update squid and squidguard after inserting a new url/domain into the blacklists. Regards, Gert
