Squid runs under the user _squid and this user is in the login class daemon in which the data size is set to infinity. Or do I have to set a another capability? Best regards. Patrick Tim Kuhlman schrieb: On Mon July 16 2007 12:00:41 pm Patrick Hemmen wrote: Thanks for your reply. I

Re: Allocate more memory than 512 MB with squid

Curious. Well there's not much we can say on the matter: 1) no dmesg 2) no squid conf I personally recommend testing your squid server's memory for problems and providing at least the whole dmesg and relevant parts of your squid.conf (eg cache_mem). BTW: Shouldn't this be in the ports list?
