Then you are most likely missing the zlib development files (usually

The only two directives which can give this error is

   miss_access
   never_direct

The default of both are suitable for most setups. You should not set 
these directives in squid.conf at all unless you have a clear reason 
why to as these are not about access control but how Squid may 
forward allowed requests to/from your peer caches. So make sure you 
don't have any of these in yor squid.conf anywhere and then restart 
squid.

If you still have problems, please post your squid.conf (without the 
comments).

Probably because the delay pool throttles the most heavy bandwidth

[squid-users] Squid Help

2003-07-08 Thread pooja prakash
Hello All,

Can anyone help me out w.r.t Squid.
My job what has to be done is to insert a Resize
Module insidee squid. This resize module will catch
the data coming from inetrnet & changes the values of
all the html tags present in it & sends back the
resized data back to the squid.

Main objective is to display the browser in the PDA
w.r.t its resolution.

Now, I have inserted my module & since I will not be
knowing in prior abt the no. of bytes od data coming
from net ( i.e., its a stream of bytes) I will be
using very big amount of buffers some are static &
some are dynamic.

After inserting this module into squid, I have a lot
of memory problems. My module is being inserted in
"comm.c" file & inside the function

"
void comm_write(int fd, const char *buf, int size,
CWCB Mail backups lists lock mbox tmp handler, void
*handler_data, FREE 
Mail backups lists lock mbox tmp free_func)
".


Can anyone please let me know whether I can modify the
squid code so that resizing can be done & also b'cos
of the delay caused by my reszing module timeout in
squid is occuring.

Thanks in advance.
Please anyone help me out.

[squid-users] Issues with Windows Update (transparent proxy + squid guard + seperate squid box)

2003-07-08 Thread Nick Pappas
Hello,

I've spent the past two weeks searching through the archives and the web
for possible solutions to our issue with no solution yet.

Here's a brief description and setup:

We have a 10.10.1.0/24 subnet.  All internet traffic passes through a
NAT box before going out to the Internet.  On that NAT box, we have a
mangle rule (iptables) to send tcp80 traffic to the squid box, which is
setup correctly to act transparently.  It is 2.5.STABLE3.

In addition, SquidGuard-1.2.0 is used for content filtering using the
squid redirector interface.

The strange part is that in purely transparent mode, Windows Update (and
some other sites that use https with http) fails; though if we set the
browser settings manually to use the proxy, it works like a charm!  I
have never seen this before.

I have tried adding extension_methods (listed in numerous replies here),
no cache directives, and I've even spent some time trying to see if I
can get squid to at least just pass traffic for 443.

I could be entirely wrong, but I get the feeling the issue is from the
requests coming out on two different boxes (the http and the https
following that).  Unfortunately, I have been largely unsuccessful in
finding a way to just forward ssl traffic (I don't care to police or
cache it) out the same way that the http traffic is handled (mangle to
the squid box).

Right now we're using a hack-like solution, which is having the NAT box
not send traffic to Windows Update IP's through squid, but this is far
from ideal since those IP's are ever changing and caching updates would
save a great amount of bandwidth.

So the goal at the moment is to find a way to transparently make https
traffic go in and out of the squid box (from the NAT box).

Thanks for your time; I look forward to trying some new solutions.

Sincerely,
Nick Pappas

As you only need one DG policy (restricted access) you in theory only
need one Squid.

DG works as a proxy IIRC, and you should be able to select via
cache_peer_access/always_direct/never_direct who is sent to DG and who
is allowed to bypass the filter.

authenticate_ttl does not provide any meaningful functionality outside
the internal guts of Squid.

All you need to remember is to make sure authenticate_ttl is bigger than
any of the other user related ttl values (mainly authenticate_ip_ttl and
basic credentialsttl).

You can set Squid to query the helper lets say every 20 minutes via the
credentailsttl parameter.

However, note that this has nothing to do with the interaction between
the user and Squid or how often the user needs to log in. All this
controls is how long Squid may assume the password of the user has not
changed.

If you want the user to have to login again after a certain period of
inactivity then this has to be configured within the browser.

The browser logs in to Squid on each and every request and the only
reason why the user does not have to login all the time is because the
browser remembers the login+password and automatically sends the same
login+password on future requests to the proxy. If you want the user to
have to login again after 20 minutes of inactivity then you have to make
the browser forget the users login after 20 minutes of inactivity, there
is nothing the proxy can do about this.

Henrik

running two squids and two DG's, using an ldap

[squid-users] Performance and tuning on Sparc with Solaris

2003-07-08 Thread Frank Neumann
Hi folks,

I'm going to implement squid on a SUN E450 with Solaris 9. The machine
has 4 x 450MHz processors and 4GB RAM. The expected load will be around
300 req/s at peak and will probably increase over time. So the question
is how to tune E450/Solaris/squid to achive maximum performance. Obvious
things like different disks on different controllers for different
cache_dirs are clear. As squid can't take advantage of multiple
processors I'm thinking of running several instances of squid bound to
different processor to share the load. Is there anybody out there
running a similar setup who could give comments or recommendations?

Thanks,
Frank

Now I feel extremely foolish. Google hit a thread on the mailing list from

hits
indicated this was a normal behavior.

That is odd, though - I searched for "ntlm TCP_DENIED" in the Squid archive
search
and got no hits, but searched for "squid ntlm TCP_DENIED" on Google and hit
in the
Squid archives.

Are there problems with the Squid mailing list archive search tool?

[squid-users] Many TCP_DENIED with NTLM auth

I'm using the wb_ntlmauth helper, and I've noticed in my access.log there

Example:

http://www.google.com/ [domain]\[user] DIRECT/216.239.37.99 text/html

Note that the user nevers sees any error message in the browser; the page
loads perfectly.

Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to reduce the ocurrence of this?

As Henrick has already noted:

1) credentialsttl will make Squid re-verify the user's credentials 
with the auth helper at a given interval.
2) credentialsttl will NOT make the user have to re-authenticate in 
their browser.

However, I have noticed there is a credentialsttl for basic auth, and 
there is also an authenticate_ttl that applies to all auth types. 
Perhaps Henrick can shed some light on the differences between the two.

external_acl_type does not care how many auth schemes you have, and

Thanks, Adam,
The problem with external_acls is that I also use NTLM auth, and
external_acl is good if I have just one auth scheme. My squid firt
authenticate by NTLM and if the browser does not accepts NTLM (everything
else but IE), it authenticates with BASIC by LDAP. 
For the group I can easly make a filter to ldap_auth to return just
users for a specific group. I already have this filter here...

Correct. REQUIRED will match any user Squid can successfully authenticate.
 
There is an external_acl LDAP group helper - you could use that to verify
that
your LDAP users are members of a specific group, and base authentication on
that.
 
I've never used the group helpers, so I can't give you any configuration
info, but
you should be able to find it easily on the list archive (search for "LDAP

NTLM auth works very differently, and the helpers need to be queried a
lot compared to basic. Basically there is two helper queries per client
TCP connnection.

The closest similar parameter of NTLM auth is the max_challenge_reuses
and max_challenge_lifetime parameters, but again, these are very
different from the basic auth credentialsttl parameter. Also, these
parameters are merely a bandaid to lessen the impact of a slight design
problem in the current Squid NTLM implementation and may go away in a
later Squid release.

Correct. REQUIRED will match any user Squid can successfully authenticate.

There is an external_acl LDAP group helper - you could use that to verify
that
your LDAP users are members of a specific group, and base authentication on
that.

I've never used the group helpers, so I can't give you any configuration
info, but
you should be able to find it easily on the list archive (search for "LDAP
auth").

It is not 100% clear to me when these errors are seen, but my theory is
that these errors are seen if a client aborts the TCP connection before

I clearly misunderstood the description in the default config file.

[squid-users] --> Simple question about authentication

2003-07-08 Thread Alex Carlos Braga Antão
Hello,
   I´d just like to answer a simple question.
   My squid authenticates by LDAP on AD. I Also have an user list of those
who may access the proxy, like:
 http_access alow FULANOS SITES

   The FULANOS list is like the folowing:
DOMAIN\FULANO1
DOMAIN\FULANO2
DOMAIN\FULANO3
   
The FULANOS acl is like:
 acl FULANOS proxy_auth FULANOS_FILE
 
Now the question:
 If I change the FULANOS acl to:
   acl FULANOS proxy_auth REQUIRED
What will gonna happen ? Squid will allow access to anyone it can
authenticate by LDAP ? regardless of my user list on SQUID (since it will
not be using anymore)
So, if someone is added to my LDAP, he will have instantant access to
squid, isn´t it ?

[squid-users] Trying to select appropiate outgoing interface depending on src ip

2003-07-08 Thread Yusuf Goolamabbas
Hi, I have the following configuration on my NAT box

eth0 to an internal private network consisiting of 2 subnets
192.168.2.0/24 and 192.168.3.0/24. The NAT box has .1 address in both
subnet and is the gateway for everybody

eth1 is connected to an ADSL modem which I obtain an $ADSL_IP via ppp
eth2 is connected to a routable Ethernet interface $ETH_2

Using policy routing/netfilter I am able to SNAT 192.168.2.0/24 to
ADSL_IP via eth1 and 192.168.3.0/24 to $ETH_2

I have squid setup to listen on 192.168.2.1 and 192.168.3.1 on the NAT
box. I thought I could use tcp_outgoing_address to do this

acl net_1 src 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0
acl net_2 src 192.168.3.0/255.255.255.0

tcp_outgoing_address 192.168.2.1 net_1
tcp_outgoing_address 192.168.3.1 net_2

However, my clients either on 192.168.2.0/24 nor on 192.168.3.0/24 are
able to reach any website with these lines in the config file

If I remove the tcp_outgoing_address lines, then I am able to reach
websites via squids

Any insights would be appreciated, Thanks Yusuf

I would recommend registering a bug report. If you see the memory
allocated for buffers grow out of control then there almost certainly is
a leak of these.

Make sure that your cache size is sufficiently large to fit the

[squid-users] Squid proxying okay but not really cacheing?

2003-07-08 Thread Antony Stone
Hi.

I've just set up a squid system (2.5stable3) under Linux, and I've changed 
only the access control setting in the squid.conf file, to allow me access.   
It's working fine, and passing requests and pages through nicely.

However, I can't really see that it's doing much cacheing, when I would 
expect it to.   So far I'm the only user, testing the system, and I'm using a 
website mapping application which walks through every page on a website, 
following all the local links, as a way of generating some traffic through 
squid.

I'm visiting a couple of sites which have nearly all static content, so it 
should be cacheable okay.

The first time I run the app, and I watch squid's access.log output, I see 
lots of TCP_MISS entries, with the access going DIRECT to fetch the webpage 
from the server.

But it looks pretty much the same the second time I do the same thing - I get 
very few TCP_HIT, TCP_IMS_HIT or TCP_MEM_HIT entries, and my inbound traffic 
to the squid server is pretty much as high as it was the first time round.

I have two questions, which I can't find in the FAQ:

1. Can I get any statistics out of squid to tell me what size cache it's 
using, how full it is, and how quickly it's churning the entries?

2. Is there anything else I should be changing in the squid.conf file to get 
good cacheing as well as proxying?
 

Thanks,
 

Antony.

The cause is the broken web server.

The DNS round robin is just was triggers the error in this broken 
server.

The server plainly is not designed for a load balanced setup, or they 
have selected a load balancing method which is not suitable for their 
server. Pick one.

You do not need to add it to the systems hosts file, just the hosts 
file user by Squid. See the host_file directive in squid.conf.

The side owner can retune their DNS to work better with proxies by 
taking the following measures:

1. Make sure their DNS server only returns one IP address per DNS 
query

2. Set the TTL of this DNS reply very high, making it very unlikely 
the DNS data expires while a user actively browses the site.

However, this will seriously limit the benefits of their selected load 
balancing method at the same time.


What should be done is that the site owner either fixes their web 
server to share the session information between all servers in their 
load balanced setup, or selects another method of load balancing 
which keeps users on their assigned server.  DNS is NOT such a 
method.

This is probably blocked by the Safe_Ports acl as the server is

Sounds like a broken web site trying to combine DNS load balancing 
with server side sessions without a shared session database between 
the servers. Such web server setups will fail in many configurations, 
proxies being one.

As you said, this broken web server design can be worked around by 
adding a /etc/hosts entry for the server.
