You already know from other responses that removing "-s" from your Squid command line options is the primary solution for stopping Squid from logging to syslog, but I wanted to add a caveat: * Some Squid messages are only logged to syslog. Those messages are logged to syslog regardless of the "-s" presence. I suspect they may also disregard the "-l facility" setting. ... where "logged to syslog" should be interpreted as "sent to the syslog daemon", of course. IMO, this caveat is essentially a Squid bug. You can prevent all Squid messages from appearing in system log files by configuring your syslog daemon accordingly.
