do you see the garbage text as well ? beside the multiplie "helper: Group does not exist" lines ? it looks like binary text you get when printing a binary executable on the console , and it fiils up /var/log/squid/cache.log with this text , it dosen't look very informative to me.
it looks to me like the program is broken /usr/lib/squid/squid_unix_group server1:/var/log/squid# /usr/lib/squid/squid_unix_group foobar helper: Group does not exist '▒▒▒' helper: Group does not exist '<▒' helper: Group does not exist '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' helper: Group does not exist '[▒▒p' helper: Group does not exist '<▒' helper: Group does not exist '▒▒`▒PN▒PM▒^n~▒▒▒淮▒▒▒▒.▒▒P▒▒^▒▒▒~▒▒▒▒p_▒.>N' helper: Group does not exist '@ؿ▒o▒' helper: Group does not exist '▒▒' helper: Group does not exist '$_' helper: Group does not exist '' helper: Group does not exist '' helper: Group does not exist '<▒' ERR what are all these Group does not exist lines???
