I figured out what was happening. I ended up doing a chown to the squid user on those files. Now I'm having another issue. None of the sites that I have blacklists for under squidguard are being blocked. I see the 4 processes running along side squid, but nothing is being block. Even the expression filters in the squid config are being ignored. On Sun, Jun 29, 2008 at 9:51 AM, Amos Jeffries <squid3@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Nick Lehman wrote: >> >> Aaarrgh!
