Greetings to all! I have setup squid2.6STABLE and apache1.3.33 in one box. squid listens to 3128 and apache listens to 8080, firewall allows www through internal nic (eth1). I have configured rc5.d for start both at boot time, it is working fine but both squid and apache serve requests before login anyone in the server. (this is not a production server). apache runs by squid (user) too. 1). please. I hope your comments in the security aspect. 2). I tried proxy.pac and wpad.dat methods for browser's autoconfiguration and failed. please, what are the best articles to read regarding above? squid2.6STABLE/apache1.3.33 Thanking you Mohan
