Hi! Currently we are testing the new squid version 3.1.0.6. generally the squid is working fine, but we have a problem with authenticating users with ident. cut of squid.conf: http_port 3128 ident_lookup_access allow all acl CONNECT method CONNECT acl all src all acl permit_user ident "/usr/local/config-squid/etc/permit_user1" http_access allow CONNECT http_access allow manager localhost http_access allow manager cachemanager http_access deny manager http_access allow messenger http_access allow permit_user http_access deny all http_reply_access allow all icp_access allow all but on every request, the squid is trying to connect to the users ident port there is the message commBind: Cannot bind socket FD 12 to 172.31.19.100:3128: (98) Address already in use in cache.log an the user will get "access denied". lsof is showing, that no other processes are using this port. # lsof -i tcp:3128 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME squid 28992 suqid 55u IPv4 31976219 TCP *:squid (LISTEN) # Strace is showing that there is something wrong with opening socket on the right port: 9.1.4.9 (client ip) 172.31.19.100 (server ip) accept(55, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(24395), sin_addr=inet_addr("9.1.4.9")}, [16]) = 10 getsockname(10, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(3128), sin_addr=inet_addr("172.31.19.100")}, [16]) = 0 ... bind(12, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(3128), sin_addr=inet_addr("172.31.19.100")}, 16) = -1 EADDRINUSE (Address already in use) why does squid bind his ident connect to port 3128? The same config is working fine with squid 2.7 without any troubles. Is this a known issue with squid 3.1.0.6 ? does anyone have the same issue?
