It should be possible to change the default values in the source so no squid.conf needs to be used. But anyone with access to the source or even the compiled squid might see the default values. You can chmod the config file to 500, so noone except the owner (root or the squid-user) can read the file. When you specify what do you got for a system or server and who shouldn't get access to the config we might could do better help And i think there is nothing special in the config which noone shouldn't see -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: pokeman [mailto:asifbakali@xxxxxxxxx] Gesendet: Freitag, 15.
