View or Edit Filter Group Configuration Lists

The operation of DansGuardian is extensively configured through various lists (sites, URLs, extensions, etc.). There is just one system-wide copy of some of these lists, while many others have a different copy for each filter group. This tool allows you to select one of the existing filter groups, then select one of its lists, and then edit it.

Most of the routine configuration of DansGuardian will be done using this tool.

The appearance of these lists will be dramatically different depending on the setting of the 'Include "fixed" lists in displays' configuration option. Click on "module config" near the top left, and flip the setting the other way so you can see both appearances. Then choose which setting you prefer and set the module config option appropriately.


If you add a new list, give it a name whose left part is the name of it's parent list (the list that .Include's it). For example, if you add a special file for some 'bannedsitelist' items, name it something like 'bannedsitelistproxies'. (Notice the pattern 'bannedsitelistproxies'.)

New files named in this way will be given the same file access permissions as their parent list, and will be searched at the same time as their parent list. If you create a new list file but name it some other way, searches may not find items in the new file, and Webmin permissions may not allow you to edit the file, effectively making it useless,
