When I do the updates to rebuild the dbfiles when used, I see "db updates done" in the SquidGuard logfile. But other than that, the only thing in the logfile is when I can't type the echo command correct, os there's error's "parsing" the line I pass it when doing command line tests.
Having taken the default settings for squidGuard as distributed for FreeBsd, I am assuming that maybe it was compiled with some options to limit logging? or possibly the default command line does....as the only part of that that was modified was the location of the config file. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Michael Wray Sent: Friday, June 04, 2004 12:02 PM To: 'Rick Matthews' Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Redirecting portions of Yahoo.com be:~ /usr/squidGuard/db/C0 # ll total 2 -rwxrwxrwx 1 nobody wheel 27 Jun 4 08:26 domains -rwxrwxrwx 1 nobody wheel 0 Dec 31 08:25 expressions -rwxrwxrwx 1 nobody wheel 0 Jun 3 16:58 urls squid and squidGuard Run as nobody:wheel be:~ /usr/squidGuard/db/C0 # grep mail.yahoo.com * domains:mail.yahoo.com -----Original Message----- From: Rick Matthews [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 04, 2004 10:51 AM To: Michael Wray; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Redirecting portions of Yahoo.com Michael Wray wrote: > > When I attempt to block (redirect) say: mail.yahoo.com, when I run > the tests from the commandline, squidguard successfully blocks > mail.yahoo.com, but when I run it in my webbrowser, somehow I > succeed in going to mail.yahoo.com.

What messages are in your squidGuard.log file? I'd first check file ownership and permissions. You ran your successful tests from the command line logged in as your user or as root. Squid and squidGuard usually run as squid:squid, so they might have been denied access to files that you had access to as root. Do a 'cat domains | grep "yahoo.com"' on the domains file that contains mail.yahoo.com and tell us what it reports. Rick
