*** Authentication Certificate *** I can confirm it doesn't work for me either. Normally I use "in memory db", so I don't know why "pre-built" wouldn't work. This was in my log file: 2005-02-04 10:51:28 [22067] init domainlist /var/lib/squidGuard/domains 2005-02-04 10:51:28 [22067] loading dbfile /var/lib/squidGuard/domains.db 2005-02-04 10:51:28 [22067] domainlist empty, removed from memory <====? 2005-02-04 10:51:28 [22067] init urllist /var/lib/squidGuard/urls 2005-02-04 10:51:28 [22067] squidGuard 1.2.0 started (1107535888.635) 2005-02-04 10:51:28 [22067] squidGuard ready for requests (1107535888.640) domains.db is not empty and apparently contains the contents of domains. I've been using squidGuard-1.2.0-4 from src.rpm - dependency listed was "db3x" What's the x? - I have db3-d.1.17. Docs say db2 required and I have 2.7.7-3 of that.

Urls and Domains do not get filtered. Take them out and load the lists into memory from text files and it works fine, I can block a million sites, except it takes forever to load 32 children. am i doing something wrong? --jeff ----------------------------------- jeff donovan basd network operations (610) 807 5571 x41 AIM xtdonovan
