Here's my install checklist (for Red Hat) for db 3.2.9: - - - - - db-3.2.9 install checklist - - - - - <Download db-3.2.9.tar.gz from this page:> http://www.sleepycat.com/download/patchlogsdb.shtml <Copy db-3.2.9.tar.gz to /usr/local/src> 'tar zxvf db-3.2.9.tar.gz' <Download the two patches for 3.2.9 from this page:> http://www.sleepycat.com/download/patchlogsdb.shtml <Copy patch.3.2.9.1 to /usr/local/src/db-3.2.9> <Copy patch.3.2.9.2 to /usr/local/src/db-3.2.9> 'cd db-3.2.9' <'pwd' should show /usr/local/src/db-3.2.9> 'patch -p0 < patch.3.2.9.1' 'patch -p0 < patch.3.2.9.2' 'cd build_unix' '../dist/configure' 'make' 'make install' 'cd ../..'

Here's something that might make you a little more comfortable about running text files in the interim... Whether you are using text files or pre-built db files, squidGuard stores all of the domains and urls in in-memory-only B-trees at startup. Obviously the pre-built db files load much faster than building new ones. But once squidGuard is up and accepting transactions there is no speed difference between a system started with text files and one started with db files. I'm not trying to minimize the benefit of the db files, just wanted you to know specifically where the performance hit appears. Rick
