How would I create a link to redirect > the files? To create a link use the ln command. For instance in the directory you want to create the linked file in type the following... ln -s /path/filename filename2 Where -s creates a static link so it redirects the filesystem to the original file /path/filename points to the original file which you are linking to (the target). filename2 is optional, you can give the link a different name if you wish. If the target file doesn't exist you can create an empty file by using the touch command... touch /path/filename If the file exists I believe it'll update the modified time on the file, and if it doesn't create it, am empty file will be created. However having a look at the dansguardian.conf file (in /etc/dansguardian/dansguardian.conf on Ubuntu) there is an option where you can change the name and location of the log file. This is copied directly from the config file... # Log file location # # Defines the log directory and filename. #loglocation = '/var/log/dansguardian/access.log' So you can change the log location to say... loglogcation = '/mnt/logfiles/dansguardian/access.log' or something similar. The log file location of Squid can also be changed by editing the /etc/squid3/squid.conf file. You'd need to look for the line as follows: access_log /var/log/squid3/access.log squid Just change the /var/log/squid3/access.log to the location of where you want the log file to go, for instance... access_log /mnt/logfiles/squid3/access.log squid When you have made the changes, restart Squid and Dansguardian by entering the following commands (at least on Ubuntu, other distributions may vary)... invoke-rc.d squid restart invoke-rc.d dansguardian restart What distribution are you using? I'll see if I can find some more tailored instructions.
