@Asim i have already done that and i dont think the problem is related to defining my pusr acl. Well i think probably the problem was that my timezone was misconfigured however i am not sure. now i have configured it correctly to match my local time(ubuntu os). sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata ( by using this command to pak std) even i have changed my hardware clock to match my local time hwclock --set --date='XX/XX/XX XX:XX:XX' --localtime however i dont know how to configure squid to use the local time instead of utc. is there a setting to be done in Ubuntu or the setting is to be done in Squid conf. if squid is by default using the local time? please guide in detail. ________________________________ > Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2010 17:39:43 +0500 > From: aahmed@xxxxxxxxxx > To: gigoz@xxxxxxx > CC: squid3@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: Time Based ACL's > > > > > > > > > > > you need to define ACL for PUsr > as below and place it above all other ACLs as > > > > acl PUsr source > > > > > > On 3/11/2010 7:27 PM, GIGO . wrote: > > > > > I have tried every trick but cannot made it to work please help out.Time based acls are not working. > > acl Whours time MTWHF 09:00-13:00 > acl Whours time MTWHF 14:30-18:10 > http_access deny PUsr youtube_domains Whours > http_access deny PUsr Whours facebook_sites > > Instead of the access denied in the specified times the access is blocked at all times.PUsr are power users ( Ip’s contained in a text file) > > regards, > > Bilal Aslam > _________________________________________________________________ > Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.
