Hi, please excuse if its a stupid question. The size of squid binary i compile is much bigger than squid which comes with linux distribution. Can some one tell me if i overlook something while compiling. But both binaries work ok (i have been compiling and updating as and when newer versions are available on the site, starting 2.5.6). This is from Suse 9.3. proxy1:/ # ls -l /usr/sbin/squid -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 721648 Mar 23 06:44 /usr/sbin/squid proxy1:/ # ls -l /usr/local/squid/sbin/squid -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2823634 Jul 9 23:18 /usr/local/squid/sbin/squid proxy1:/ # /usr/sbin/squid -v Squid Cache: Version 2.5.STABLE9 configure options: '--prefix=/usr' '--sysconfdir=/etc/squid' '--bindir=/usr/sbin' '--sbindir=/usr/sbin' '--localstatedir=/var' '--libexecdir=/usr/sbin' '--datadir=/usr/share/squid' '--with-dl' '--enable-snmp' '--enable-carp' '--enable-useragent-log' '--enable-auth=basic digest ntlm' '--enable-basic-auth-helpers=LDAP MSNT NCSA PAM SMB YP getpwnam multi-domain-NTLM' '--enable-ntlm-auth-helpers=SMB no_check' '--enable-digest-auth-helpers=password' '--enable-external-acl-helpers=ip_user ldap_group unix_group wbinfo_group' '--enable-ntlm-fail-open' '--enable-referer-log' '--enable-arp-acl' '--enable-htcp' '--enable-underscores' '--enable-stacktraces' '--enable-delay-pools' '--enable-ssl' '--enable-cache-digests' '--enable-storeio=aufs,ufs,diskd,null' '--enable-linux-netfilter' '--enable-removal-policies=heap,lru' '--with-samba-sources=/usr/include/samba' '--enable-x-accelerator-vary' proxy1:/ # /usr/local/squid/sbin/squid -v Squid Cache: Version 2.5.STABLE10 configure options: --sysconfdir=/etc/squid --enable-storeio=diskd,null,aufs --with-pt hreads --enable-snmp --enable-linux-netfilter --enable-underscores --enable- removal-policies=lru,heap --disable-ident-lookups --enable-err-languages=Eng lish --disable-hostname-checks --with-dl Regards SK
