Good catch. Owner/group of whitelist files changed.

I did not build the Squid package. It was built and distributed by QNAP.

Sorry. I am trying to whitelist against sites that are in the blacklist from squidguard.mesd.k12.or.us/blacklists.tgz. So where should my whitelist.conf be?
I tried it after "INSERT YOUR OWN RULE(S) HERE" and also at the end of the squid.conf file.
