I tried adding /ACLs in a similar way, as this is where I like to keep my acl text lists away from the squid.config file, but it did not appear to work, any idea why. Squid reports that it can't find the specified file which I'd (now) expect! What is the point of a fully qualified address if it's ignored?
Our ACLs, for example, are acl local-servers dstdomain felsted.essex.sch.uk acl whitelist dstdomain "/usr/local/etc/squid/whitelist" acl adsl-types urlpath_regex -i "/usr/local/etc/squid/adsl-types" acl bad-sites dstdomain "/usr/local/etc/squid/bad-sites" acl badstar-sites url_regex -i "/usr/local/etc/squid/badstar-sites" acl bad-types urlpath_regex -i "/usr/local/etc/squid/bad-types" acl webmail dstdomain "/usr/local/etc/squid/webmail-sites" acl webmailstar url_regex -i "/usr/local/etc/squid/webmailstar-sites" acl webmailtimes time "/usr/local/etc/squid/webmail-times" acl msnmessengersites url_regex -i "/usr/local/etc/squid/msnmessenger-sites" acl msnmessengertimes time "/usr/local/etc/squid/msnmessenger-times" acl staffhosts srcdomain "/usr/local/etc/squid/staffhosts" acl pupil_pcs srcdom_regex pupil* http_access deny bad-sites !staffhosts http_access deny badstar-sites !staffhosts http_access deny msnmessengersites !msnmessengertimes !staffhosts and the file adsl-types is \.wma$ \.zip$ \.mp3$ \.lzh$ \.exe$ \.rar$ \.pdf$ \.wmv$ while the file badstar-sites is .*bonkablebeauties.com .*rathergood.co.uk -- Christopher Dawkins, Felsted School, Dunmow, Essex CM6 3JG 01371-822698, mobile 07816 821659 cchd@felsted.essex.sch.uk
