Hi List! We're experiencing problems with a just-upgraded squid install (from Debian 8 to Debian 9, using packages in repos). Here are the details from squid -version: Squid Cache: Version 3.5.23 Service Name: squid Debian linux We use "negotiate kerberos" authenticators to offer Active Directory SSO. We're also running squidguard. Lines in config file are: [...] # NEGOTIATE KERBEROS AUTH auth_param negotiate program /usr/lib/squid/negotiate_wrapper_auth --ntlm /usr/$ auth_param negotiate children 60 auth_param negotiate keep_alive off [...] url_rewrite_program /usr/bin/squidGuard -c /etc/squidguard/squidGuard.conf The problem is that, issuing the "squid -k reconfigure" command (i.e. to adjust acls in conf file) the result is not just a configuration reload, but authenticators processes are restarting, causing an "out-of-service" for all users, for a courple of minutes. Basically the same issue as in this thread: https://serverfault.com/questions/247835/squid-3-reloading-makes-it-stop-serving-requests I'm in doubt if reducing helpers number would be a good idea, since we need to serve ca. 300 simultaneous users. Before the recent upgrade, with the previous Debian8, reload took some seconds only.. Is there any best-practice to get an "Hot-Configurable" system? Do you have any suggestion? Thanks! Best regards, PS: English isn't my first language, so please excuse any mistakes.. -- +---------------------+ | Linux User #554252 | +---------------------+ _______________________________________________ squid-users mailing list squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.squid-cache.org/listinfo/squid-users
