Dear All,
I wonder why my squidGuard blacklists don't seem to be working at all. I've
downloaded the script, adjusted according to my box and run it to
automatically update the lists. It run successfully by the reports it
produced.

Then I checked sG using webmin, and it said that the blacklists were disabled.
So, I enabled it. There was a lot of disk activities when I clicked on the
save button to enable it. I didn't know what webmin did. Then I also enabled
the blacklists in the ACL.

However, when I tested it, the blacklists didn't work. There was this zzz2.com
domain that was blacklisted, but yet I still could open it.

Also, in /etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.conf, there was nothing changed at all.
So, I'm lost here. Seemed that webmin did something, but I don't know what it
is and the blacklist aren't working.

Here's the script log:
