RE: [squid-users] dead squid, Still looking,

Hi,

I am actually having the same problem with my Redhat AS 3 squid. I have not
compiled anything. It just started to happen. The recently had a some
patches done to it before that it was working for over 4 months.

Unfortunately the person who did patched it didn't write down which patches
were installed. It seems to die like you describe after a few hours of use.
I first thought My cache was corrupt and re-built it.

The patches broke my samba trust between my windows 2000 server and samba.

I am using group memberships to determine who can use the proxy server. I
recently removed that requirement but it continues to die.

I will continue to follow this thread. I am wondering what the implications
would be to compile a more recent build or perhaps there are rpm binaries
for redhat. (newer)

Ttyl,

Allen Armstrong
