Hi all, Do you know how to activate squidguard logs ?. On a "per blacklist basis" ?, i.e one log file for porn another for gambling etc etc ???
(I don't wanna use RPMs ). Another question, is it possible to authenticate on a AD or a lotus notes ldap via squid and do a "per group" filtering policy ?. /Hitete ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, September 17, 2004 6:59 AM Subject: SquidGuard and HUP > Hello SquidGuard List, > > I'm new to the list and squidguard, so please excuse me if I ask some newbie > questions... :) > > I am running squid with a number of squidguard subprocesses, and a number of > auth processes.
