In case anyone else is curious, I looked up "MNF" (not everybody has used Mandrake). From their web site: ------------------------------ Multi Network Firewall MNF is one of the most feature-rich firewall products currently available on the market. MNF is based on Linux 2.4 "kernel secure" to provide multi-VPN (Virtual Private Network) as well as multi-DMZ (de-militarized zone) functionalities. With high throughput IPSec encryption, Multi Network Firewall integrates seamlessly into existing networks and works with a wide variety of operating systems, including MS-WindowsTM. This high performance security solution offers superior economics by eliminating add-on costs such as 3DES VPN licenses and VPN clients. MNF supports an unlimited number of VPN clients. ------------------------------ > I have my permissions set to 644 for the conf > > here is my log.

(It has errors in it and is poorly written, to boot.) I would delete that file, and go to the online squidGuard configuration documentation here: <http://www.squidguard.org/config/> and build your own config file. Check #3 on the squidGuard FAQ <http://www.squidguard.org/faq/> for the answers to why squidGuard couldn't open the congfig file and went into emergency mode. Take a look at that information and then post your new questions. Rick
