Actually no, /var/log/messages is not an init system log file; on some Linux distros it is a default log location for syslog. I can confirm that squid will write to /var/log/messages if syslog logging is enabled AND syslog is configured to write to /var/log/messages (this is the default behaviour on some Linux distributions, such as Debian, but not Ubuntu). -- Ambrose Li <ambrose.li@xxxxxxxxx> | Time zone: GMT-5 (Eastern) ambroseli.ca “Any organization which designs a system… will inevitably produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization’s communication structure.” — Conway’s Law _______________________________________________ squid-users mailing list squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.squid-cache.org/listinfo/squid-users
