[squid-users] Cache directories
Hi all I have squid running but was wondering what happens when the cache dirs get full or reach the limit set in the squid.conf. Will squid clear out the oldest entries or do I have to clear them out myself? Thanks Tony

[squid-users] Internet Sharing using squid for 2000 users
Hai, I have 2000 users in my LAN.Now I am planning to share internet access to all my users with authentication. For this setup I am planning to install a Server with Redhat EnterPrise Level-4(RHEL4) with squid and provide authentication using ldap for squid. Then regarding hardware what configuration will be suitable.I have read in articles that if we want more caching we should have more RAM. I think of installing squid in two P1V machines one as main other as secondary.I am planning to have scsi hardisk in two machines. Is these configurations will be correc.Else please mail me what all things I had to inbuilt for good internet sharing . NOw I have 2MBPS Internet leased line.Is this will support for my usuage.

Re: [squid-users] Which the best OS for Squid?
Well I see there is a big discussion with few arguments about best linux for squid. More anwers are not sustained but demostrate love for our distros. Well here I go. Redhat, because is the world Open Source leader and a good balanced distro with big support on any branch, I mean Redhat 9, RHEL, Fedora or the alternative CentOS, wich I use. Fast, realiable, secure with Selinux feature. Regards, Daniel Navarro Maracay, Venezuela. Ps: After all, linux is all linux. --- Tino Reichardt [EMAIL PROTECTED] escribió: * Odhiambo Washington [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: * On 06/10/05 23:25 +1300, D E Radel wrote: - Original Message - From: Askar [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Bonnici Daniel [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: squid-users@squid-cache.org Sent: Thursday, October 06, 2005 11:09 PM Subject: Re: [squid-users] Which the best OS for Squid?

[squid-users] Performance tweaks
Next week i need to set-up a squid server for a small company of about 18 users. I have set-up a test system at home on a machine of similar spec ( 2ghz 512 ram and an ide disk ) I have the default config file with about half a dozen acl's. At times browsing is really fast but now and again for no apparent reason it gets sluggish. Is there any config tweaks i can apply that may help? Terry.
Re: [squid-users] Internet Sharing using squid for 2000 users
hi, In a long term a dual CPU with server grade motherboard not to very high end(Intel/AMD) and 2GB RAM will suit to your need. You can choose any os you want. SCSI disk will be a good option but normal IDE and SATA will also do. My present setup runs on a simple Intel P-4 desktop system with 2 GB RAM and IDE HDD with seperate caching proxy servers and my user database is much higher than yours. I am also migrating from my present setup to the server grade config due to the increasing number of users and the amount of CPU consumption. So you can peacefully have the said h/w config. -- Sushil.

Re: [squid-users] squid https login error
The https port is not related to https proxying and should probably be removed. To proxy https, in your browser, set the https proxy port to 3128 (or whatever you have set the standard http port to).

However there is no line that relate to https connection that I write, except the default acl rules as: acl Safe_ports port 443 563 # https, snews http_access deny !Safe_ports acl SSL_ports port 443 563 http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports I do not have a firewall rule yet, and I can connect https site from proxy machine with firefox. I check with Mozilla, Netscape and IE and all of them lost their connection with web sites as I addressed https port of my proxy. not: I assigned 443 as https port of proxy, and nothing changed.

Connecitons to https port had page cannot be displayed error message in IE6, however connections to http port had no problem and asks username and password. I did not understad why https port connections give such error. not: configuration string: ./configure --enable-ssl --with-openssl --enable-digest-auth-helpers=password --enable-basic-auth-helpers=LDAP The error message from IE 6 does not really help. You will have to find out why you get the error. How are your acl ant http_access configuration lines ? Can you browse https sites from the proxy machine itself without using a proxy, i.e. are you sure your firewall permits https connections out ? Yours, Jakob Curdes

[squid-users] squid and dansguardian, and the X-Forward-For patch failing against 2.5-STABLE11
I recently got dansguardian installed and running on port 8080, DG redirects output to squid on 3197 or whatever squids default port is (I dont remember now) everything works, but not like I would like it to. I think I need the X-Forward-For patch since I would like to be able to use the client IP address for squid ACLS inspite of the fact that its a localhost packet from DG. I installed DG from source on a Slackware 10.2 box and it went fine. I installed squid from a slackware package available on the internet. Ive downloaded the 2.5-STABLE11 code tarball and had a look at the ./configure options (my arent there a lot of them). My problem is that the X-Forwarded-For patch on the squid page at sourceforge doesnt patch against the STABLE11 codebase (I mean that there are a large number of hunk failures, not that the patch didnt run at all). I tried looking at the patch file, but I'm not comfortable with rewriting patches in a programming language I dont know well. Especially not one that does what this one does. I looked at the date of the patch and then downloaded the four most current STABLE sets prior to the patch date and the patch doesnt patch against any of those tarballs either. Im reasonably sure that someone on this list has had to cross this bridge one before. Does anyone have a rewritten patch to squid 2.5.STABLE11 that will add the X-Forward-For functionality? Thanks
