Dear Markus, First of all i disabled the "debug_options ALL,1 33,2 28,9" in squid.conf. Then when i reloaded the squid service, i was looking in all the log files where it will reflect anything about squid_kerb_auth. I found in two places about this information. Please have a look at it; in /var/log/messages; Jun 6 11:49:30 linuxproxy squid[8577]: Squid Parent: child process 8579 started and in /var/log/squid/cache.log; 2009/06/06 18:15:28| Reconfiguring Squid Cache (version 3.0.STABLE13)... 2009/06/06 18:15:28| FD 21 Closing HTTP connection 2009/06/06 18:15:28| FD 23 Closing ICP connection 2009/06/06 18:15:28| Processing Configuration File: /etc/squid/squid.conf (depth 0) 2009/06/06 18:15:28| Initializing https proxy context 2009/06/06 18:15:28| User-Agent logging is disabled. 2009/06/06 18:15:28| Referer logging is disabled. 2009/06/06 18:15:28| DNS Socket created at 0.0.0.0, port 32776, FD 9 2009/06/06 18:15:28| Adding nameserver 192.168.0.111 from /etc/resolv.conf 2009/06/06 18:15:28| Adding nameserver 192.168.0.12 from /etc/resolv.conf 2009/06/06 18:15:28| helperStatefulOpenServers: Starting 10 'squid_kerb_auth' processes 2009/06/06 18:15:28| Accepting HTTP connections at 0.0.0.0, port 8080, FD 21. 2009/06/06 18:15:28| Accepting ICP messages at 0.0.0.0, port 3130, FD 23. 2009/06/06 18:15:28| HTCP Disabled. 2009/06/06 18:15:28| Loaded Icons. 2009/06/06 18:15:28| Ready to serve requests.
