Without it 'squidclient mgr:menu' lists a few things like shutting down squid, displaying the config as 'hidden' and non-usable. When its used, the mgr:menu changes the relevant objects to 'protected' and you can use the password to run those commands using squidclient. Amos > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael J.
