That "cache" in that path is OS terminology from the FHS standard (<http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#VARCACHEAPPLICATIONCACHEDATA>). Not a Squid cache. The "/var/cache/squid/" part as a whole is the FHS directory assigned to Squid for storing anything that it needs to persist between executions and across system reboot. That is all. One of those persistent things does happen to be cache_dir (*if* you configure any), but other things also are needed to persist and may be placed there. For example; that message above is the Squid process CWD being set as the location where Squid will drop core dumps *if* the OS lets cores be created. You can move it elsewhere with the coredump_dir directive in squid.conf, but be aware that other locations may not be cleaned up automatically by your package installation software if/when your Squid installation is uninstalled, upgraded, etc. Amos _______________________________________________ squid-users mailing list squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.squid-cache.org/listinfo/squid-users
