Cron Problem for squidGuard - LTSP 4.0.2 (FC3)

Cron Problem for squidGuard - LTSP 4.0.2 (FC3)

[Dan Bentson-Royal]

I seem to be having trouble running a daily cron job. This seems to be 
the only job that has trouble - nothing else has the "BAD FILE MODE" 
comment.

I googled the problem and found a suggestion that BAD FILE MODE probably 
means permissions trouble - but when I checked, it all looks fine. I'm 
looking for suggestions on how to proceed.

Here is the error message from my cron log:
      [root@localhost ~]# more /var/log/cron | grep squidGuard
      Apr 18 17:11:31 localhost crond[2125]: (*system*) BAD FILE MODE

      [root@localhost ~]#
I am running LTSP 4.2.0 - FC3

Any suggestions as to where the problem lies?

I recently spotted this problem as well.

You can either update or run this command to fix it:

	chmod a-x /etc/cron.d/squidGuard

Arturas,

Here are the contents of squidGuard in /etc/cron.daily/ and
/etc/cron.d/squidGuard

---begin clip---

#!/bin/bash
nice /usr/sbin/update_squidguard_blacklists

/etc/cron.d/squidGuard: No such file or directory
[root@localhost ~]# tail -n 100 /usr/sbin/update_squidguard_blacklists
#!/bin/sh

TARGET=/var/squidGuard/blacklists

cd $TARGET || exit

# only run if squidGuard is active!
[ "`ps auxw | grep squid[G]uard`" ] || exit

rsync -az squidguard.mesd.k12.or.us::filtering $TARGET

for DIR in `ls $TARGET`
do
         if [ -f $DIR/domains.include ]
         then
                 TMP=$RANDOM
                 cat $DIR/domains $DIR/domains.include | sort | uniq > 
$DIR/domains.$TMP
                 mv -f $DIR/domains.$TMP $DIR/domains
         fi
         if [ -f $DIR/urls.include ]
         then
                 TMP=$RANDOM
                 cat $DIR/urls $DIR/urls.include | sort | uniq > 
$DIR/urls.$TMP
                 mv -f $DIR/urls.$TMP $DIR/urls
         fi
done

/usr/sbin/squidGuard -c /etc/squid/squidGuard.conf  -C all
# /usr/sbin/squidGuard -c /etc/squid/squidGuard.conf  -u

chown -R squid.squid $TARGET
chown -R squid.squid /var/log/squidGuard/

sleep 5s
