      Hello all.

      This took me a bit to figure out, find, and fix.  And I'm no Linux/Unix person, by far.

      Using PFSense 1.2.3 Release, Squid, and SquidGuard.  All was working fine until I reboot, and then I have to manually stop and start SquidGuard to get it's filtering working again.

      As I can't do this, I had to find a fix or throw out the work I got to that point.

      Finally found a thread here, and specifically this post:
      http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,20690.msg136528.html#msg136528

      Which fixed it.  All filters work on reboot, which is what I needed badly.  For a Command Shell ignoramus, I must have done ok!  Even did the move/copy files about to ensure I had a backup.  Was fun to figure that one out.

      Anyway, it took me a bit to find it/understand it/implement, so I wanted to help anyone who might be having the same issues, hopefully save them a little bit of time?

      My first foray into PFSense… except for the speed bumps, which have been overcome, this is a fantastic looking product!  My thanks to you developers!

        I've had the same issue forever.  On reboots I had to remember to stop and restart the services.  I've just been too lazy to do a search and see if it was a common problem.  Now I have no excuses :)
