[K12OSN] dansguardian and squid won't play together

[Huck]

/var/log/dansguardian  is the directory DG stores it's log on my machine...
cat access.log
that will show you if any site/url is being denied.
I've blocked doubleclick.net so I'm inundated with logs all the time.. =)
And since I've blocked extentions as well...you get to see who's trying 
to download stuff too =)
I only get IP's because I don't force authentication at the proxy 
level...this is fun if you really want to be draconian and lay the smack 
down on students
doing things they aught not do....but a simple check on webmin of 
when/where a particular user logged in and the time of a serious denial 
by DG...and you
can sort those things out on your own.

check your /etc/dansguardian/bannedsitelist  and bannedurllist  to make 
sure that playboy.com is listed...
and if you haven't installed any blacklists yet...you might want to do 
that as well...I believe they are posted on either DG's site or 
Squidguard's site..
