Problems with Dansguardian setup

[weasel7711]

Two errors I have not been able to figure out
1. When executing "dansguardian" command I get the following:

"Unable to getgrnam(): Success"

My group and user names in the dansguardian.conf file are both 'squid'

2. When I "chkconfig iptables on"
I get iptables not found.


I an running Ubuntu Intrepid.

Iptables isnt defaultly installed with Ubuntu, I don't know why, you just have to apt-get install iptables to ensure it is installed.

getgrnam(); error is a result of not having the group Squid, you may have only physically created squid user and not group, check both group/user are created.

Any luck getting it to work?
