I use squid since 1.1. Now it 2.6s17, on linux, of course! Since 1.1, squid always runs in Proxy_Authen mode. Now the 2.6s17 serves about 1,200 clients . There's new clients, around 100 every month (the old one just fade away). All clients (and software) have to log in to Squid Proxy before able to surf (via basic auth: ncsa). Problem is that: While most ppl read the documents, follow instructions, etc, etc, some are NOT. Some even careless ... install software they don't use, or let rogue softwares install themself ! So, both the people and softwares try to access the new without login. Result ? My access.log size is 400-1,200 MB everyday (yes, I rotate it everyday at 23:55pm) Worse, 3/4 of access.log is just TCP_DENIED/403 and TCP_DENIED/407. I have to pipe it to grep -v after every rotation. But ... wrote 3/4 gigabyte of useless information slow down squid somewhat. QUESTION: How can I turn off these two messages? It's useless .. BTW, I had tried my best to search through _that_ dreadfull /src/*.c and try making some changes. Useless. (In fact , I'm just a half-noob in VB). Try searching/reading 4 years of usenet. No answer. Google ignores me completely ... Thanks in advance. -- ... Lyrics of the Forest ...
