Hi squid users, i installed squid after this how-to guide: http://serverfault.com/questions/66556/getting-squid-to-authenticate-with-kerberos-and-windows-2008-2003-7-xp/105857#105857 (Getting Squid to authenticate with kerberos and Windows 2008/2003/7/XP) Domain/Server Info: Domain Name: homebase.local Squid Server: squid 192.168.100.55 windows server 2008: srv-ads-001 192.168.100.130 DNS Name Resolution is working in both directions. If i start the squid init script, squid tries to start, but i get the following error message in the cache.log : 2010/02/03 19:55:25| Starting Squid Cache version 3.0.STABLE18 for i686-pc-linux-gnu... 2010/02/03 19:55:25| Process ID 2470 2010/02/03 19:55:25| With 1024 file descriptors available 2010/02/03 19:55:25| DNS Socket created at 0.0.0.0, port 54300, FD 7 2010/02/03 19:55:25| Adding domain homebase.local from /etc/resolv.conf 2010/02/03 19:55:25| Adding domain homebase.local from /etc/resolv.conf 2010/02/03 19:55:25| Adding nameserver 192.168.100.130 from /etc/resolv.conf 2010/02/03 19:55:25| Adding nameserver 192.168.100.1 from /etc/resolv.conf 2010/02/03 19:55:25| Adding nameserver 192.168.100.254 from /etc/resolv.conf 2010/02/03 19:55:25| helperOpenServers: Starting 10/10 'squid_kerb_auth' processes 2010/02/03 19:55:25| helperOpenServers: Starting 5/5 'squid_kerb_ldap' processes 2010/02/03 19:55:26| ipcCreate: /opt/squid-3.0/sbin/squid_kerb_ldap: (13) Permission denied 2010/02/03 19:55:26| ipcCreate: /opt/squid-3.0/sbin/squid_kerb_ldap: (13) Permission denied 2010/02/03 19:55:26| ipcCreate: /opt/squid-3.0/sbin/squid_kerb_ldap: (13) Permission denied 2010/02/03 19:55:26| ipcCreate: /opt/squid-3.0/sbin/squid_kerb_ldap: (13) Permission denied 2010/02/03 19:55:26| ipcCreate: /opt/squid-3.0/sbin/squid_kerb_ldap: (13) Permission denied 2010/02/03 19:55:26| Unlinkd pipe opened on FD 27 2010/02/03 19:55:26| Swap maxSize 102400 + 8192 KB, estimated 8507 objects 2010/02/03 19:55:26| Target number of buckets: 425 2010/02/03 19:55:26| Using 8192 Store buckets 2010/02/03 19:55:26| Max Mem size: 8192 KB 2010/02/03 19:55:26| Max Swap size: 102400 KB 2010/02/03 19:55:26| Rebuilding storage in /var/cache/squid-3.0 (DIRTY) 2010/02/03 19:55:26| Using Least Load store dir selection 2010/02/03 19:55:26| chdir: /opt/squid-3.0/var/cache: (2) No such file or directory 2010/02/03 19:55:26| Current Directory is / 2010/02/03 19:55:26| Loaded Icons. 2010/02/03 19:55:26| Accepting HTTP connections at 0.0.0.0, port 3128, FD 28. 2010/02/03 19:55:26| Accepting ICP messages at 0.0.0.0, port 3130, FD 29. 2010/02/03 19:55:26| HTCP Disabled. 2010/02/03 19:55:26| Ready to serve requests. 2010/02/03 19:55:26| WARNING: SQUID_KERB_LDAP #1 (FD 19) exited 2010/02/03 19:55:26| WARNING: SQUID_KERB_LDAP #2 (FD 20) exited 2010/02/03 19:55:26| WARNING: SQUID_KERB_LDAP #3 (FD 21) exited 2010/02/03 19:55:26| WARNING: SQUID_KERB_LDAP #4 (FD 22) exited 2010/02/03 19:55:26| Too few SQUID_KERB_LDAP processes are running FATAL: The SQUID_KERB_LDAP helpers are crashing too rapidly, need help!
