Either place the restriction in whatever user database you are using, only keeping the account enabled at those dates, or build the restriction using acl's in squid.conf. Now, Squid acls as such is a little limited in this regards as it doesn't support dates, only days of the week and time. But It's reletively trivial to extend with an external acl evaluating the time.. Example external acl helper for date checks. Used like external_acl_type datecheck /path/to/datecheck.sh acl user_a_dates external datecheck startdate enddate where startdate and enddate is given like YYYYMMDD where YYYY is year, MM is month and DD is day. ### cut here ### #!/bin/sh while read start end; do today=`date +%Y%m%d` if [ $start -le $today && $end -ge $today ]; then echo OK else echo ERR fi done ### END CUT ### Depending on how the timezone is configured on your server you MAY need to add a TZ variable in the beginning of the script defining your timezone. But normally not needed. TZ=yourtimezone export TZ Regards Henrik
