It is a default home location for the core dumps etc. > FATAL: kid2 registration timed out ... something else is causing the worker process not to make contact with the coordinator process. Any hint on how can I find out the problem source. Amos -- Please be using Current Stable Squid 2.7.STABLE9 or 3.1.9 Beta testers wanted for 3.2.0.3
