Thanks. I see I missed the patch entirely. I'll give it a shot in the morning.
Here's something that might make you a little more comfortable aboutThat's why I'm not too concerned. My lists will be very short. Mostly a whitelist for the sales terminals. I'm not going to deal with the rest of the computers for a while.
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.
BTW, has anyone considered (and is there any advantage) a MySQL based database? Something like this would make it very easy for me to implement a data entry screen so my boss could easily modify the whitelist.
