Are you sure you want to use the "-N" flag in rc.local?

The technically correct solution is to ensure that 'shutdown' does a clean
shutdown of your squid daemon, that will fix the majority of the cases
where you might encounter "Squid already running".

Secondly, check that your pidfile is written into a location that will
be flushed
at reboot (e.g. /var/run) . This is OS-dependent, so you might ask on a
Slackware support list.
