Well, I answered my own question by looking through his cgi scripts in </usr/libexec/webmin/squidguard>.
The author has made the assumption that your blacklists are in: <$dbhome/blacklists/porn> <$dbhome/blacklists/ads> etc. This assumption is contrary to the documentation, which says: domainlist filename where: filename is either a path relative to dbhome or an absolute path (i.e. /full/path) to a database file. So, the following combination works with squidGuard and conforms to the documentation: dbhome /usr/local/squidGuard/db domainlist block/blacklist/porn/domains full path /usr/local/squidGuard/db/block/blacklist/porn/domains The above combination does not work with the Webmin squidGuard module, however, due to the author's incorrect assumption concerning the path. Since I've been very interested in seeing what the squidGuard module does for you, I made a few changes so that my path declarations would conform to the author's assumptions. After bouncing squid I tried the squidGuard module again. This time the blacklists option opened to show an icon for each of my blacklist categories (porn, ads, etc.) Clicking on the icon apparently causes the module to completely read the blacklist before opening a page that allows you to search or add to the files. Clicking on <porn> caused a delay of 20 - 25 seconds before presenting the next screen; clicking on <ads> brought up the next screen in less than a second. I guess the last straw was that in each of the categories, the search page had a red notice at the top that said "This blacklist is disabled". There is also a link labeled "Enable this blacklist". I have no idea why the module thinks my blacklists are disabled, but at this point I don't really care. I've uninstalled the squidGuard module for Webmin. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Rick Matthews Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2001 6:44 PM To: Squidguard Mailing List Subject: squidGuard Module for Webmin Are you using the squidGuard module for Webmin? I've installed the module and I believe I have it configured properly. Clicking on <Time Spaces>, <Source Groups>, <Access Control Rules>, etc. shows me the correct information from my squidGuard.conf file. Clicking on <Blacklists>, however, tells me "No blacklists found!" If that part works for you, please tell me what you have in your squidGuard.conf file as a dbhome path declaration? Also, what is the complete path to your blacklist files? Thanks! Links: Webmin: <http://www.webmin.com/webmin/> squidGuard module: <http://www.niemueller.de/webmin/modules/squidguard/>
