Posting responses above the current text (which you have not done, I'm just fore-warning) is also frowned upon. To answer your question... It depends entirely on what OS you are running Squid on. One of the more common is some flavor of RedHat linux, in which case type "chkconfig squid on" without the quotes should set you up right (assuming you installed Squid via RPM). Other Unix-like systems are covered in http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-3.html#ss3.6, and if you are running Squid on Windows, you'll have to specify that, and ask again. I have very little Windows Server knowledge. Chris
