Re: What am I doing wrong

Well, on the first part, both paths are correct.  My log files are 
empty, though.  I want to use the files at dbhome to block IP's.  All I 
want to use this for is to block IP's.  Once I figure that out, I'll 
move onto blocking certain IP's for users and many more for a user 
called Torrent.  Most of the information in this conf file are from the 
example that came with the standard Mandrake 10.0 install discs. 

I just looked at all of my lists for my src's and they are all empty.  
So, if I need to use any of these, I guess I better do it the way you 
do.  It looks like my conf file isn't written in a way to do what I'm 
trying to do.

I commented out the acl's except for lansource and entered the ip of my 
ethernet card.  The command to use the conf file didn't lock up the 
terminal this time.  It still isn't blocking anything, though.

Here is my squidGuard.conf:
Basically, I'm just trying to filter out porn, ads and other nosy 
people.  It should be simple, but I'm having trouble following allong 
with what is literal and what is supposed to be replaced with my info.

# CONFIGURATION DIRECTORIES
dbhome /usr/share/squidGuard-1.2.0/db
logdir /var/log/squidGuard
   

check these ones, specially the capital G in your directories.

# SOURCE ADDRESSES:
src privilegedsource {
	iplist	privilegedsource/ips
}
   

If there's any mistake with your rules you can find out at
squidGuard.log, databases won't load and you'll see a message
explaining the problem.
HTH, good luck!
