Angela is correct.
If you set client_netmask to 255.255.255.255 it will block ip addresses
from being logged. That is the whole point in client_netmask.
Here's the tag, from the documentation:

# TAG: client_netmask
# A netmask for client addresses in logfiles and cachemgr output.
# Change this to protect the privacy of your cache clients.
#
#client_netmask 255.255.255.255

What you want to do, is comment out the client_netmask feature.

A question: Why would you set the netmask to 255.255.255.255?

This effectively filters out the entire IP address... ?

I have a RedHat Linux server running Squid. My squid.conf file has the
client_netmask set to 255.255.255.255 but access.log is not capturing the
client ip address. I have restarted the server many times. As far as web
browsing, all users have access, and that is functional. However, the
following is what is logged into access.log:

proxy - - [07/Jul/2004:11:15:59 -0500] "GET http://www.google.com/search?
HTTP/1.0" 200 18902 TCP_MISS:DIRECT
proxy - - [07/Jul/2004:11:16:01 -0500] "GET
http://www.google.com/images/logo_sm.gif HTTP/1.0" 304 194
TCP_CLIENT_REFRESH_MISS:DIRECT

Any idea why the client ip address isn't there when the netmask is set to
255.255.255.255?
