I tested this before pushing to production, on a Redhat Linux v7.2
server. It worked fine. I recompiled on the Redhat AS 3 (update 8)
servers and installed. Now Squid doesn't even open its access.log at
all. It does, however, open its cache.log . This is a fully updated
Redhat AS 3 config, simply i386, SMP, nothing really weird. But
currently, no logging. I'm using a modified Redhat AS RPM spec file for
compilation. What follows is some of the configuration. The only thing
different is the addition of the "--with-large-files" and a recompile.
Only other thing is I'm going from a functional Squid-2.5.STABLE6 to a
(non-logging) Squid-2.6.STABLE4 . Like I said, this same RPM is working
fine on a test (Redhat v7.2) server. There does not appear to be
anything odd in the cache.log, other than naughty clients making some
bogus requests. The Squid(s) appear functional other than the logging.
