Hi,
I've been using Linux (RH 5.2) for years and it does what I need it to
do just fine. I've had it running squid and simple X-window telnet,
perl, expect, apache, etc... just for fooling around and learning. Now
that I have teenage boys, and the internet - well, Squid and webalizer
are really coming in handy. I am having some problems getting simple
ACLs to work. I can make them work in this fashion...
acl ACLX url_regex -i sex
.
.
.
http_access deny ACLX
.
.
.
But then I have to create billions of lists like the pair above
ad-Infinitum. There must be a better way... so, I see in the help in
squid.conf the following...
acl aclname acltype "file" ...
where acltype can be url_pattern (or url_regex ???) and the file says
it must contain one entry per line, which I can only assume must be a
regular expresion pattern such as .*sex.*???
But... when I use...
acl BANLIST url_regex (or url_pattern) ban-list
http_access deny BANLIST
... and place the file ban-list with a bazillion lines of nasty word
patterns in it, nothing gets banned, not even http://www.sex.com...
sigh.
Is there anywhere where anyone has actually written a step-wise manual
that really, in english, with procedure - explains how to configure
these things. I do not mean a syntax manual... I mean a method and
purpose example and method that does a job, specifically and
purposefully. I write this sort of documentation all day long at my
work. ANYONE - with our with out in depth experience can pick up one
of my docs and perform the task - in this case how to add a phrase or
site to an ACL in squid.conf to ban a specific http access... see what
I mean.
Thanks in advance (how's that for an introduction)... I have many more
to come...
Mark
Have you looked at http://dansguardian.org? Possibly SquidGuard?
Would make what you are doing MUCH easier.
