You don't need to do this. Syslog logs everything at the named level and
above. So, "local4.notice" would have been sufficient.

Did you create /var/log/squidlog? Syslog normally won't create a
non-existent file. The method I use to add a new log file is:

- edit syslog.conf
# touch /var/log/squidlog
# kill -HUP `cat /etc/syslog.pid` (or wherever the pid file lives)
