Hi, Sorry about last incomplete message. To many keyboards here. :-( I am trying to make my first external_acl_helper, but I am having problems. My script ( based on examples from squid-user mail list archive): #!/usr/bin/perl $|=1; while ( my $parms = <STDIN> ) { print "OK\n"; } squid.conf external_acl_type myexternalacl %SRC %LOGIN /usr/local/squid/libexec/script.pl acl testing external myexternalacl (There is no ACL using the helper, for awhile, because it is not working anyway ) cache.log WARNING: myexternalacl #10 (FD45) exited (there are 5 lines, changing just # and FD) Too few myexternalacl processes are running FATAL: The myexternalacl helpers are crashing too rapidly, need help. Squid Cache (Version 2.6.STABLE13): Terminated abnormally. Could someone help me? Tips, URLs for reading, anything will be welcome. Thank you for your attention. Regards, Freitas
