[K12OSN] Help! Squidguard will not obey the ACLs in the conf file

[Adam Melancon]

I'm not sure, but you can check out my squidguard page and see if
anything helps you in there.
http://www.vermilion.lib.la.us/sysadminsite/squidguard/
We would probably have to see a copy of your squidGuard.conf file to
be able to help you troubleshoot the problem.

I just use this script that I tweaked that rebuilds the filter lists
and then restarts squidguard.
This usually helps apply any changes I've made.

[root at ltsp40 root]# cat rebuildallfilter.sh
#!/bin/bash
date
/usr/sbin/squidGuard -c /etc/squid/squidGuard.conf  -C all
chown -R squid.squid /var/squidGuard/blacklists/
chown -R squid.squid /var/log/squidGuard/
sleep 5s
/usr/bin/killall -HUP squid
sleep 5s
tail -n 80 /var/log/squidGuard/squidGuard.log
date

I also have a few other custom scripts to just rebuild the custom
lists that I change often.
