Fixed. I added the following line to my /etc/squid/squid.conf file.
access_log /var/log/squid/access.log squid
This was after looking at the default squid.conf file for, on a hunch,
any access.log config entries. I don't think this was mentioned in the
updates info on the website--I did look to see if anything new had
happened between v2.5 to v2.6 . Perhaps I just missed it. Since I did
not re-write the squid.conf based on any updated, default, squid.conf,
it seems strange that if there is *no* access_log line, that squid
defaults to *no access.log*. This definitely bit me. I hope it makes
sense, but at least it is functioning now. After lunch I'll do research
to see if there is yet anything else I've missed.

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.
