I've installed squidGuard for a local cyber-cafe, and it works quite
well.....
You do have to install db2, even though db3 is installed, squidGuard
doesn't support db3 yet.. (or last time I installed it).
As far as I remember, download db2 (http://ftp.ost.eltele.no/pub/db/),
untar, ./configure, make, make install.
Then untar ./configure, make, make install squidGuard
Make some directories
/usr/local/squidGuard/
/usr/local/squidGuard/db
/usr/local/squidGuard/log
Download the blacklists and put them into /usr/local/squidGuard/db
I stopped reading their docs at this point and just gave the ownership
of those directories to the squid-user (755).
The conf-file, caused me problems - the version on the website wouldn't
work for me, however here is my /usr/local/squidGuard/squidGuard.conf
logdir /usr/local/squidGuard/log
dbhome /usr/local/squidGuard/db
dest porn {
domainlist porn/domains
urllist porn/urls
}
//// repeated for each directory in blacklists
acl {
default {
pass ourgood !ourbad !porn !violence !aggressive !drugs
!gambling !hacking !warez
redirect http://www.you-have-been-naughty/
}
}
I also created a directory ourgood and ourbad, inside
/usr/local/squidGuard/db, so that we could override sites by adding the
domain to /usr/local/squidGuard/db/ourgood/domains and then sending
squidGuard (or was it squid) a Hangup signal.
/etc/squid/squid.conf, needs the following line
redirect_program /usr/local/bin/squidGuard
restart squid and it should work.
It was that straight forward for me on Redhat 7.1/7.2 - it would be nice
for it to be a rpm -i squidGuard job, but I'm happy they have CURL
compiled into php (was facing compiling php tonight).
I'm sure the blacklists have put sites like modssl.org and other linux
admin sites into the category of porn ;-)
Hope this helps.
