Hi all. First let me say TY to all involved for making this distro. TY Jeremy for your energies and insights in going ahead w/ the new version.

Now the question.:-)
I like to go online to a forum about boating (fixing boats, boat motors, etc.) called "iboats"
When going to the iboats forum, it is denied, banned phrase. OK. I looked at the logs and it seems to be telling me the banned phrase is "gator". whatever.
Anyways, when I look through all the /etc/dansguardian/* stuff I can't seem to find that banned phrase. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks for the kind words!

Are you using the Parental Controls GUI to change the settings?

I went there to view the logs, but banned phrase list that showed up in parental controls was simply a list of what seemed to be 3 files that it would use. Going to those files 'the old way' I was unable to find the phrase. I didn't use the lower settings as 'strict' is a good idea in this household. :-)

I'm wondering if "gator" is banned because of a piece of spyware called "gator" (http://www.pchell.com/support/gator.shtml)

Thanks again.
