This how-to is only for using Dansguardian with different filter groups. This is not a Dansguardian setup tutorial.

The reason for this how-to is so you can have different levels of filtering, for example filter out everything for students were as only filter out what you feel the need to for staff members and allow almost everything for administrators.

HomePage: http://dansguardian.org/
Function: An Open Source web content filter that works on conjunction with a proxy server like squid.

rpm -qa | grep Dansguardian

2. If it's not, find the rpm on the Dansguardian http://dansguardian.org/ and install it

rpm -ivh dansguardian-2.8.0.4-1.fc4.i386.rpm

3. Change into the dansguardian directory

cd /etc/dansguardian

4. cp the orginal filter group file to a new filter group.

cp dansguardianf1.conf dansguardianf2.conf

5. Now make the folder were the information for the filter group will be.

mkdir fg2

6. now copy the files into the folders

cp /etc/dansguardian/bannedphraselist        /etc/dansguardian/fg2/bannedphraselist
cp /etc/dansguardian/weightedphraselist        /etc/dansguardian/fg2/weightedphraselist
cp /etc/dansguardian/exceptionphraselist    /etc/dansguardian/fg2/exceptionphraselist
