The whole /var/spool/squid tree needs to be owned by "squid". But it probably is (better check). > It had been working normally until this time. Yeah. Have you got SELinux enabled? It is possible that the rules let squid run from boot, but not from a root command line. I've certainly tripped over this "feature" myself. There's some rationale for this somewhere on the web, but personally I just turn SELinux off. Why? Because it screws with the straightforward UNIX security model, such that you can't do deeply desirable stuff like looking at a file permission and knowing what you're allowed to do with it. You can run SELinux in "permissive" mode, too, where it reports SELinux violations but permits the action; your system will run fine but crap will stream constantly across the console... -- Cameron Simpson <cs@xxxxxxxxxx> DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/ And since God doesn't exist, we have weather forecasters. - bandy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
