To clarify, I meant the obvious error in the sgMalloc call at line 146 of sgDb.c, i.e. 5 + 1 equals 6 in most cases not 5. Or
update = (char *) sgMalloc(strlen(file) + 5); should be update = (char *) sgMalloc(strlen(file) + 6); -----Original Message----- From: Rick Matthews [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 03, 2002 06:27 To: Ian Spare; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: ident Ian Spare wrote: > > I wouldn't worry about upgrading SquidGuard and DB, it really ought > not to take more than a few minutes really, it's a bit hard to see > what the song and dance is all about in fact. Some of the singing and dancing relates to the fact that the installation instructions that accompany the current squidGuard download are incorrect. Following the installation instructions will reward you with a squidGuard installation that does not work as advertised. That may not be an issue for you, but that's a show-stopper for many people. > The only genuine problem is a bug in some versions of > SquidGuard[sgDb.c] which was discussed in this mail list but as far > I can see hasn't made it into the distribution. I wasn't aware that any discussions here had achieved the status of "genuine problem". In fact, I haven't seen any messages from the author here in almost 2 years. Can you give any more details about this problem? You mention that the problem is in "some versions" of squidGuard. As far as I know, there is one current version of squidGuard and several old versions of squidGuard. Is the problem in the current version or an old version? Thanks, Rick
