Description torsten.fahr 2000-06-27 12:40:01 UTC 
hello there.

i'm absolutely new in freeBSD. our chief-administrator has gone. now i've to do the job. my problem is, i want to allow three users access to the internet.  so i edit the file squid.conf withe the following string."acl username src 192.168.x.x/255.255.255.0." to allow the access i http_access allow 'username'. (no password is required). after editing i type at the command line /usr/local/squid/bin/squid.conf -k reconfigure. what happens is, i got the message access denied.

thanks for your help

best regards

torsten

You should probably have said:

	/usr/local/squid/bin/squid -k reconfigure

(note - no .conf). Also you don't say what the exact error message was,
but if you got an "Operation not permitted" message it probably means
that you didn't run the command as either root or the squid user.Try
again as root.

(BTW - you should press return about once every 70 characters so you
don't send lines which are nearly 500 characters long!)

	David.

This is a question, not a problem report.  This relates to squid, 
not FreeBSD.
