> 09:59:35 recalculating alarm in 45025 seconds That's how squidGuard keeps up with your time parameters - it sets an alarm for the next time something changes based on your config file. In this case, 45,025 seconds is just over 12.5 hours, added to the current time of 09:59 gives you 22:30 - matching your configuration file.
The squidGuard log clip that you posted is from squidGuard startup; it would have been in the log before your 20 to 30 second wait. When squidGuard starts you will see a *bunch* of messages in the log file. Look in squid.conf - let's say you have specified redirect_children 4. At startup the log will have 4 identical sets of startup messages, showing the 4 process id numbers [pid] ([26607] in the clip you posted). Let's assume you have created the databases, and that you have specified 4 redirect_children. Based on those assumptions and the config file you posted, you'd see a minimum of 144 lines added to the log when squidGuard restarts, something like the following, repeated once for each process: init domainlist ...ads/domains loading dbfile ...ads/domains.db init urllist ...ads/urls loading dbfile ...ads/urls.db init domainlist ...audio-video/domains loading dbfile ...audio-video/domains.db init urllist ...audio-video/urls loading dbfile ...audio-video/urls.db init domainlist ...drugs/domains loading dbfile ...drugs/domains.db init urllist ...drugs/urls loading dbfile ...drugs/urls.db init domainlist ...gambling/domains loading dbfile ...gambling/domains.db init urllist ...gambling/urls loading dbfile ...gambling/urls.db init domainlist ...hacking/domains loading dbfile ...hacking/domains.db init urllist ...hacking/urls loading dbfile ...hacking/urls.db init domainlist ...porn/domains loading dbfile ...porn/domains.db init urllist ...porn/urls loading dbfile ...porn/urls.db init domainlist ...violence/domains loading dbfile ...violence/domains.db init urllist ...violence/urls loading dbfile ...violence/urls.db init domainlist ...warez/domains loading dbfile ...warez/domains.db init urllist ...warez/urls loading dbfile ...warez/urls.db squidGuard 1.2.0 started recalculating alarm in xxxxx seconds squidGuard ready for requests Would you run your test again and telling us what the log file says *after* the startup messages? Has anything been written to stopped.log? The configuration page <http://www.squidguard.org/config/> lists a recommended structure for the config file, and you config file doesn't follow the recommendation. I don't think it will affect squidGuard's operation since it doesn't look like you have any forward references, but I wanted to mention it. Your only source is a single ip, 192.168.0.1. After you run your test again look in your squid access.log file. Are you seeing your ip (192.168.0.1) on each line that pertains to your test? (You should.) If you don't see that ip in the squid log entries, then squidGuard doesn't match you with source limit_hosts. In your config, that would mean that you should receive the squidGuard.cgi redirect. The question earlier about that redirect was probably because you didn't list the variables being passed, for example: http://192.168.44.1/cgi-bin/squidGuard.cgi?clientaddr=%a&clientname= %n&clientuser=%i&clientgroup=%s&targetgroup=%t&url=%u&lang=en But you say your squidGuard.cgi runs fine, so I assume you clipped the variables to streamline the posted version. I hope I've mentioned something that will help you. Let us know how it goes.

I'm missing something. Maybe someone could give me a hand here. I've got squid w/squidGuard running. Now, every time I try to go someplace, after several seconds (20-30), the site will load. Then, I look at the squidGuard.log file, and it's (clip): 2002-04-30 09:59:35 [26607] squidGuard 1.2.0 started (1020185922.241) 2002-04-30 09:59:35 [26607] recalculating alarm in 45025 seconds 2002-04-30 09:59:35 [26607] squidGuard ready for requests (1020185975.298) My squidGuard.cgi runs fine. I'm out of ideas. Thanks, David
