Hi Romulo,
Read this one over and I think it will fix you up. The problem I had was
that I did not realize that squid runs as user "proxy" by default. So,
leave that alone and adjust the how-to accordingly is the way I did it.
In other words, replace "squid" with "proxy". (on Debian at least)

If that does not work, we can go through it step-by-step if you want.
Then, maybe you can tell me how to use Dansguardian and still be able to
read the darn news on-line!
Good luck.
Regards, Joe
