I've been using SquidGuard with blacklists in a school to block the students. All users must authenticate themselves against Squid before they can access the web. Squid is using Linux's /etc/passwd file to check usernames and passwords.
I would now like to extend the installation to allow younger students access to the Internet by way of a white list produced by the teaching staff. As any student can log in on any PC what would be the best way of configuring this without too much duplication. As I see it, I must create a text files listing all the usernames both the older and younger students and then use the 'userlist' configuration option. As my users are already grouped together using Linux groups - from /etc/passwd is there anyway I can get squidGuard to use them? Thanks Mark
