I don't know if it is correct or not, but that's what mine does and it seems to be working fine. :) > The entire dir of squidGuard is owned by proxy:proxy and permissions > are set to 777 (not very safe I know).

Did you use 'su proxy' or 'su - proxy'? 'su - proxy' will give you a login shell with the full user environment for user "proxy". 'su proxy' will leave you with the environment of the user prior to the su, probably root. Run your test again after using 'su - proxy'. You can add the -d switch to get the log messages written back to your screen. The format would be: '/where/ever/squidGuard -c /some/where/else/squidGuard.conf -d' Run 'which squidGuard' and make sure that the squidGuard binary is really where you think it is. I went back through the archive and this problem has been mentioned here 3 times in the last two and a half years. But there is never any mention of what the exact problem turned out to be. We need to make sure that we post the fix back to the list once it is discovered.
