Hi all,
I have many users using squid2.6 stable18 version. There are many
users who need access to sites like youtube, onlinemovies etc.. but, i
have to block access to these sites for other users and all of them
are online at the same time.
I have used acl badurl url_regex -i teen orkut youtube sex mp3 mp4 exe
in my squid.conf.
Can i use unix groups to achieve this?
Say for example, create acl's for users in a particular group and give
them access
external_acl_type unix_group %LOGIN /usr/lib/squid/squid_unix_group -p
acl staffgroup external unix_group staff
Users in staff group should have access to youtube etc..
How do i do this?
Thanks

You need to use the groups management built into your user accounts system.
If you use unix accounts (on the Squid machine I think) to control your
users then yes the unix groups on that machine can be checked.

Otherwise check out the authentication section of the FAQ for more ways.
