Hi there,

Ive just installed squish on my squid server machines and Im looking at limiting downloads for each of my users, although I have it kinda working there is VERY LITTLE documentation for it anywhere, I was wondering if anyone else on the list has used it before and can point me in the direction of some documentation or at least answer a few questions for me.

1. Can I get it to display usernames only, not ip address?

2. How can I set the download limit?

3. Is there a squish.conf or equivalent somewhere Im missing?

also i've noticed when i start squid i get this error message

[root@fedora /]# /etc/init.d/squid restart

........ [ OK ]

i've looked at the squid.conf file and it dosn't really seam to make much sense to me as to what the ACL's are doing? but i guess they are apart of the squish software so i don't want to delete them, can someone tell me whats going wrong?

this is what is listed in my squid.conf file

# added by squish (begin)
acl SQUISHLOC dst fedora.directory.server

acl SQUISHED1 proxy_auth "/etc/squid/squished"
acl SQUISHED2 ident "/etc/squid/squished"
acl SQUISHED3 src "/etc/squid/squished"
deny_info http://fedora.directory.server
/squish/?squished& SQUISHED1
deny_info http://fedora.directory.server
/squish/?squished& SQUISHED2
deny_info http://fedora.directory.server
/squish/?squished& SQUISHED3
http_access allow SQUISHLOC
http_access deny SQUISHED1
http_access deny SQUISHED2
http_access deny SQUISHED3
# added by squish (end)

i have figure it out with help from the creator of the program Andrew McGill and posted my findings on my local LUG website
