Just an update...

Squid did fail overnight (this is on NT 4, BTW), and I've rebuilt it
with Henrik's two patches and put it back up again - this time just
answering proxy HTTP requests.

It's peering with a few of the JANET cache servers (one way only :-),
and seems to be able to do ICP and fetch hits back as normal.

A few niggles :-

a) general niggle - cache tracker announcements. I'm not clear on
whether Squid is sending them or not. I didn't enable them, but I do
see the "sending announcement" message in my cache log

b) mail.exe doesn't exist, so when Squid dies it grumbles about that

c) Squid stopped accepting connections, but didn't actually die as a
process :-( I wasn't running it under RunCache, just directly as a
binary

d) Had the odd access failure exception - it's not clear to me what
Squid was trying to access. I'm running it inside it's own little
area, without admin priviledges, and with (I thought) all of the
paths in squid.conf changed to reference this. Probably finger
trouble on my part, this

e) After my rebuild/restart, I now see lots of messages saying that
there was a "size mismatch" in storeSwapInFileOpened. The difference
seems to be typically between 7 and 10 bytes, but varies. I wondered
whether this was a side-effect of the timezone fix, but haven't
really looked into what info is being squirted around

f) the icons shar archive and lack of "uudecode" I mentioned before

g) general niggle - the installation of error HTML and icons, which I
mentioned before

If this sounds negative, it shouldn't :-)

Ciao!

Martin
