I looked in the squidGuard log and it said something like "can't open
configfile /etc/squid/sguidGuard.conf"   hope that helps.

I got a redirect to work....now the last thing....how do I edit the
blacklists to block some site sthat I want blocked....say mtv.com for
example?  I need the quick and drity way.  Thanks!
