Well I figured out that my DG is running as the dansguardian user. So
this message must refer to the webmin session I guess.

How do control what user webmin runs as? I would have thought it would
kinda run under the user you logged into Webmin as.

How I know I am running DG as the dansguardian user.
Change the /etc/dansguardian/dansguardian.conf to say
daemonuser = 'dansguardian'
daemongroup = 'dansguardian'
and then when I start DG it says "Error opening/creating log file.
(check ownership and access rights).
I am running as dansguardian and I am trying to
open /var/log/dansguardian//access.log"
