I booted up ebox for the first time last night. I had pulled the most recent version from the debian repositories.
pdc800:~# aptitude show ebox
Package: ebox
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Version: 0.11
I am running on debian sarge on a xen vm. Everything as far as the system goes seems to be fine. This morning when I was trying to impliment the squid feature, I enabled the options while looking over the user documentation and for somereason now matter what I did I could not connect. I consulted the logs and found...

hrmm.. well thankfully the logs were pretty straight forward running
squid -z
fixed things. Though to me this seems to me like something that should be run when ebox is installing and configuring squid.
