I’m using centos 6 64 bits and may be option in sysctl to play with ? here is my config file : dns_nameservers 8.8.8.8 dns_v4_first off ######################################## http_port 203.164.132.2:${service_name} include /root/X3/aclhalf${service_name}.conf include /root/X3/tcphalf${service_name}.conf pid_filename /var/run/squid${service_name}.pid cache_log /var/log/squid/${service_name}-cache.log access_log /var/log/squid/${service_name}-access.log ################# visible_hostname xyz # Lockdown Procedures auth_param basic program /lib/squid/basic_ncsa_auth /etc/squid/squid_userX3 acl ncsa_users proxy_auth REQUIRED http_access allow ncsa_users # # Recommended minimum configuration: # # Example rule allowing access from your local networks. # Adapt to list your (internal) IP networks from where browsing # should be allowed # Add any of your own refresh_pattern entries above these. # ################################### ######################################### cache_effective_user squid cache_effective_group squid ############## On Feb 17, 2018, at 11:38 AM, Amos Jeffries <mailto:squid3@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: 3.5.22 _______________________________________________ squid-users mailing list squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.squid-cache.org/listinfo/squid-users
