[squid-users] Problems with ACLs

Hello,

We are running a Squid-Proxy (2.3.stable4-51) on a
SuSE-Linux machine. To
access URLs in the internet, users have to enter username
and password. Some
URLs can be accessed without authentication.
These public URLS are listed in the file
"/etc/squid/public_urls". This configuration
worked fine for about a couple of weeks.

In the last few days, the proxy ignores the acl PUBLIC_URLS.
Syslog shows the following messages:

Sep 29 17:18:00 proxy squid[313]: aclParseAclLine: IGNORING
invalid ACL: acl PUBLIC_URLS dstdomain
"/etc/squid/public_urls"
Sep 29 17:18:00 proxy squid[313]: strtokFile:
"/etc/squid/public_urls not found
Sep 29 17:18:00 proxy squid[313]: squid.conf line 1289:
http_access allow PUBLIC_URLS
Sep 29 17:18:00 proxy squid[313]: aclParseAccessLine:
Access line contains no ACL's, skipping

The ACL definition looks like this:

[....]
acl PUBLIC_URLS dstdomain "/etc/squid/public_urls"
acl PASSWORT proxy_auth REQUIRED
[....]
http_access allow PUBLIC_URLS
http_access allow PASSWORT
http_access deny all

After restarting squid, the ACL is handled correctly. This
problem occurs
about 2 times a week.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Udo Pokojski
