Access problems ...

Hi there,

We're checking out if squid might be a good proxy server for us to use.
I've loaded up RH Linux 6.1 and the version of squid that came with it,
namely 2.2.STABLE4. I'm having a terrible time figuring out the access
control directives. I've looked at the FAQs and I think I understand,
but when I try to test it I get a consistent "access denied" error. I'm
using the following squid.conf file for testing:

   debug_options ALL,9
   acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
   http_access allow all
   icp_access allow all
   dns_testnames www.ibm.com
   cache_effective_user squid squid

In netscape if I set the proxy to "localhost" and 3128 it works, but if
I set it to "machinename" and 3128 I get access denied.

So my question is:

   Why am I getting access denied? I thought 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 and the
   "allow" should allow anyone access.

In the access.log file I'm getting the following:

   952553516.159 5 1.2.3.4 TCP_DENIED/403 962 GET http://www.sprint.com/ - NONE/- -

Oh, and a second question - where do the debugging messages show up? I set
the debugging level to 9, but I don't see any difference than when it was 1.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
