[K12OSN] Cron Problem for squidGuard - LTSP 4.0.2 (FC3)

[Dan Bentson-Royal]

I seem to be having trouble running a daily cron job. This seems to be 
the only job that has trouble - nothing else has the "BAD FILE MODE" 
comment.

I googled the problem and found a suggestion that BAD FILE MODE probably 
means permissions trouble - but when I checked, it all looks fine. I'm 
looking for suggestions on how to proceed.

Here is the error message from my cron log:
      [root at localhost ~]# more /var/log/cron | grep squidGuard
      Apr 18 17:11:31 localhost crond[2125]: (*system*) BAD FILE MODE 
       (/etc/cron.d/squidGuard)

On another list, someone asked to see the contents of squidGuard in 
/etc/cron.daily/ and /etc/cron.d/squidGuard - so I am including them 
here as well.

chown -R squid.squid /var/log/squidGuard/

sleep 5s

/usr/bin/killall -HUP squid
I am running LTSP 4.2.0 - FC3

Any suggestions as to where the problem lies?
